Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC78) and CC282!




It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC78)! This week Dee Jackson is our host. Dee is challenging us to a limited supplies challenge. The limit? NO Embellishments. What does this mean? It means that we let the image we use speak for itself. We CAN use ink, stamps, paper, punches, die cuts, and coloring tools. We cannot add rhinestones, prima flowers, buttons, pearls, ribbons, brads, etc. We would love to see what you create with this limited supplies challenge.

This card is also for today's SCS Color Combo Challenge(CC282)!  Blushing Riding Expresso! Check out the link to find out how to play along and what the dessert option is! 

I must admit when I first heard of this challenge I almost screamed!  Really?  For me that meant NO BOW?  LOL!  I must say I am amazed and really do not miss the bow.  I know!?!   I am using Flourishes Gerber Daisies, Clouds, and Berry Sweet (sentiment) stamp sets. I colored and cut out the larger gerber daisy arrangement.  I soponged the over with palette toile pink then stamped over the sentiment with the clouds background with the toile pink.  I added the MS butterfly punch as my final detail.  I used the blushing bride dp from the level one pad!

Check out the other blog team designers to see what they created with NO Embellishments!
