Take 3 Challenge - Large Butterfly Beauty - Take 1

Welcome to a new week of Take 3.  This week's image is a beautiful swirly butterfly from Studio g.  It was given to me by a friend and came out of a larget "stamping kit".  It is rather large ... so I decided to start out by just using bits of it on this tag.  Coloured the leaves with my Stampin' Up! pastel chalks. 

I never use my crimper enough .. thought it would add some great texture. 

I had planned to enter it into the CAS-ual Fridays challenge to use tags ... but I ended up scheduling this post for the wrong week and totally missed that challenge!  How did I do that??  Sheesh!! Oh well.

Drop back in tomorrow to see what I did for Take 2 using this same image.

Clean and Simple (CAS) Challenge - 57 - Thanks a Hoot

The latest from the Clean and Simple Challenges is to layer two different shapes on your card while keeping it Clean and Simple.

Are you kidding me!!! How the blazes are we supposed to do that! I thought and I thought and then I thought of this.......

(my apologies for the poor photo!)

I didn't dare look at anyone elses' cards for fear I'd just simply copy someone else's idea!

Supplies: Stamps - Designer Woodgrain (Hero Arts), Wise Owl, Rustic Branches (Papertrey Ink); Paper - whisper White; Ink - Chocolate Chip; Other - Label Die 2, Oval (Spellbinders), pastel chalks (Stampin' Up!), Q-Tips, Corner Chomper (We R Memory Keepers), dimensionals.

Now I am dying to go and see what everyone else did with this challenge!! I might have to make more if I get lots of inspiraiton!!

Have a great day!!
