First post & color challenge entry



I think it's only fitting that my first blog post be my entry into Dawn McVey's color challenge considering I have stalked her blog for the past year and love her style. I've never participated in any challenges before and I've never uploaded my cards before either but it's a new year and I want to start doing things I haven't done before. I do want to say though, that I've only been card making for about 6 months so I am definitely still learning but I would love your feedback whether it's good or bad. Thanks so much for stopping by!







Supplies all PTI unless otherwise noted.
Paper: Dark Chocolate, Aqua Mist, Lemon Tart, Cream (from my stash), Aqua Mist bitty dot
Stamp: Mega Mixed Messages
Ink: Versamark
Other: My Time Made Easy Pretty Pieces (butterfly), Cricut

  11. Great card Mandy, I'm loving all things butterflies at the moment, love how you've framed yours in the Dark Chocolate circle, almost like a real preserved butterfly!

  12. Mandy, I love this card and the butterfly! I love that you kept it plain and didn't adorn it.

    I read on Rhonda's blog that you didn't have orange cardstock. Like your husband, I'm a Dolphin fan. Not sure if you have any SU paper, but Cameo Coral works well... :)

    Hope you can play along!
