1) Today's Color Challenge CC258, to use perfect plum, soft suede, and pale plum. (I had to substitute close matches for all of my papers, but was able to use both the actual perfect plum and pale plum from my Stampin' Pastels when coloring my image),
2) This week's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge, TESC100, found here: http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot....lebration.html
and
3) This week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC54), which is to be "all about me." I chose this new Flourishes teapot because tea is all about *me* (my favorite drink) and because *I* just won this beautiful new set in the FTTC Anniversary Challenge last week!
The teapot was colored with Stampin' Pastels and a blender pen. The little punched flowers were stamped/colored using the Poppin' Pastels technique. I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edge of my card.
I had fun creating this card within the parameters of all of these challenges!! Thanks for stopping by to look!

What a great card this is Emily!! I see you got your sewing machine out for this one. I love those stitches!! Your paper or dp looks like flannel, and the other dp is a nice complimenting pattern. It reminds me of fabrics. Your teapot is cute, and I of course like the flowers.
