TSG48 - It's A Beautiful Day....


Happy Monday everyone and I hope your day is indeed beautiful...
Today being Monday means that it's time for a 

There She Goes Challenge

and this week we have to

"Follow A List"

Yes, this week Jessica has challenged us to
complete the list by using the items below...
And you may NOT use more than the allotted for each item...

We have to
* Use 3 different colours
* 2 different design papers
* 1 button
* 1 Ribbon
* No other embellishments

Ok... 
I think I can do this,
here is my card...


For this card I decided to use the beautiful "Poppies" Stamp Set...
 I am completely and utterley in love with this set!!
I coloured in the poppies with my Prisma's and then cut them out.
I also stamped and embossed the little butterfly that also comes with
the set and coloured them in with my Prisma's as well.

Ok... Number 1: 3 different colours: Red, Black and Beige
(white doesn't count), Check!
Number 2: 2 different design papers: Easy...
Some gorgeous October Afternoon "Root Celler" 
and some gorgeous paper from Jenni Bowlin, Check!
Number 3: One Button: Easy...Check!
Number 4: One Ribbon: Easy again...Check!

And ummmmmm, now, ok, see this is where I went wrong on one of the "rules"... 
I used different embellishments...BUT I HAD TO!!! 
(ok, am using full on whiney voice now)
The little butterfiles NEEDED them..... ;0)


Just a closer look at my colouring with my Prisma's
Which I will be giving a short tutorial about on Wednesday
on the TSG blog...



And this is just a shot of the inside of the card...
