Give me a challenge

Love challenges, so that is what this post is about.

 First up, the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger for this week.

My mind zeroed in on that one tin with the yellow print on it.  I could see drawing the pattern with a white crayon on white cardstock and then coloring the paper with yellow Distress stain. The white crayon would act as a resist to the stain. I sat right down to play!  Since I love experimenting this was FUN!

 To finish off my card, I went to the other tin with the orange background and the white flowers.  I stamped a Hero Arts stamp with white ink on orange cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder.  Next I used the die that comes in the same stamp set to cut the flowers. Wow, are these easy to use!

 Next, I wanted to play with the Colour Q color challenge.

 I went to a digital set of butterflies that I purchased from Jessica Sprague along with a pack of woodgrain digital papers that I purchased.  I put these together along with a sentiment that I had.  I layered all of these elements before printing them out on white cardstock.

The butterflies come in several colors, I picked out ones that went along with the Colour Q colors. I added black rhinestones to each butterfly.
And, last but not least...

The retro sketch for this week.

At Target this week, I found these wonderful printed tapes. There are three sets of four tapes each. I picked this blue/green set. They are in the office supplies section with paper clips, etc. I love them. 

I filled a strip of white cardstock with three of the patterns.  My strip was a little too long for my card so I cut off a piece and realized I could use that too, I just flipped it so the pattern arrangement was reversed. The little scallop edge is circles covered with the solid color of tape.
