Papertrey Chicks: First Challenge



The Papertrey Chicks has issued it's first challenge: Argyle, Hibiscus Burst, Spring Rain and Smokey Shadow.  Since I don't have Hibiscus Burst or Spring Rain ink (yet), I had to improvise with some Memento colors (Rosebud and Summer Sky.)

  



The argyle pattern was made from Papertrey's new argyle background stamp set.  It's an amazing set that lets you create your own argyle pattern in three different sizes.  The leaf stamp and sentiment are from Papertrey's Blooming Button Bits set.  The center die cut shape is Nestabilities, and is cut out of Papertrey's Rustic White cardstock.  Since this is a 4x6 card, I had to cut down a piece of 12x12 cardstock.  The card base is Bazzill, as is the ribbon.  I added a couple of buttons from my stash tied with twine to complete the card. 

Thanks for looking and all of your comments are very much appreciated!!  Your thoughtful words truly make my day!!!
