Busy Playing~~

I was browsing cyberland and came across some challenges out there and thought....yeah, I can play so here is what I worked on so far today;
 This is the Christmas card challenge over at Stamp TV.  Yeah, I know even I think it's too early, but I so love these new Signature Stamps from PTI - I just had to ink them up!  A CAS card, that really doesn't need explanation - stamped, popped, taped done.  LOL.
This one is for CAS-tastic challenge  #7- add buttons.  Wouldn't you know, I have buttons coming (from PTI again) in the color to match this gorgeous colored paper.  But, I don't want to wait.  Flower images are from the Verve stamp set Petals & Stems - leaves are from GKD Hang in There, and background polka dots are also from GKD Vintage Backgrounds.  There is a sentiment in the upper right corner, but I made my leaves to dark and YOU CAN'T READ IT~~ Shoot!  This was my second attempt at this and I wasn't going to do it again~~IRL you can see it better.  [After proofing this post I noticed that this card also qualifies for STV color challenge - pink, orange, green.]

This card started out for Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge however, when I put the colors together it dawned on me- I was using Carla's STV Color challenge colors (pink, orange, green)~~ well, I am all for 2 challenges with 1 card - AND I actually did use half GKD stamps Vintage Backgrounds - the flowers and butterfly is from Verve's Petals and Stems stamp set (again).  [Yep, I CUT them all out!]  Okay my cyber friends - I think I am done...maybe..LOL (It's still early and DH is at a baseball game..hmmm) - however, this post is over.  Thanks so much for your comments.
