WOW, I was so thrilled and humbled that my card was chosen last week! Thank you so much! Now to add the badge to my tiny new blog... how do I do it? I have a blogger blog. I know how to add an image, but not sure how to do it when it's in code. HALLLP!
I had fun with this card- adding pearls and gems as adornments, along with a sewn lacy panel and some red and blue fabric strips. Here's Americana Rooster

I used Crushed Curry instead of Hello Honey, and I counted by linen thread as texture. (note to self: next time start with a larger collage, run it through an embossing folder, THEN cut to size. ;) )

Had fun doing a shabby card as it's warm here and it just seemed appropriate- as we are all lounging around in our "shabby but comfortable" togs today. I used a cute dc butterfly from my friend Kathy, and sponged a companion butterfly above it. Added some knotted floss for a border, and did some sewing. Here's Shabby Butterflies

This is a great color combo. Like many, I don't have the new colors yet so I had to sub for Hello Honey. I think mine's a bit brighter if the samples I've seen are accurate. Anyway, here's my card:
I made this abstract background on the day this challenge was posted. Couldn't decide if I liked it, or what to do with it, so I moved on to a different card for the challenge.
Staring at the background for a few weeks, I finally made a card.
