This card is for FOUR challenges...I haven't done that in a long time!
It is for 2 of my own blog WOW challenges, that's Word of the Week! This week the word is "limbus" meaning "a border distinguised by color or structure". I used an old SU border for my "limbus"! I also wanted to add something "furfuraceous" which was the word from last week...this means "consisting of flaky particles". I added a furfaraceous border of coarse silver glitter!
This is also for Betty's Color Challenge this week, Chocolate Chip, Real Red, and Always Artichoke. I had to substitute colors, and I might get the challenge gong from my Artichoke...the flourishes look pine green and the button looks more Mellow Mossy!
And lastly, for Roxie's sketch today...such a fun one!
Special thanks to Krischir! She sent me a piece of an old window screen and ordered us to ink it up! That's the pattern I did first on the cream cardstock...so FUN!

Arent you something, Avon Lady! 4 challenges in one. Oooh la la that's amazing! Love the challenge based on your own 2 words. Sweet yet warm card. You've reached a new plateau. I've already thrown my first attempt at that sketch away. Bummer. I have a few days, so let me get back to work. Sweet sweet card!
