2 challenges in 1

I tried two new challenges this week. Sometimes it's really nice to have a sketch challenge, and a color challenge, and just combine them into one card. It almost takes all the decision making and stress away.....almost....but it's good stress...fun stress.This was the sketch from stamping411 and then I combined it with Stacey's Jewelery Challenge. Stacey's colors were Garden Green, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, and Whisper White. I took the butterfly wings and curled them around a pencil to give them a little lift. It is almost a Stampin Up only card except for the pearls down the butterfly, but I thought it really gave it the pop it needed.
I know putting challenges together must be a lot of work, so thank you ladies for your time and efforts so we can play.

Thanks for peeking in. Have a great day.
