Micheggy: Embellish Coloring Challenge

Embellish Coloring Challenge

I saw this fun contest today at Embellish magazine while surfing different blogs and thought it would be a great card contest to enter. I don't think you have to make a card for it but I was working on my cards for class and the colors worked well for the challenge so I thought I would take a stab at it. Here is my entry. The cards need to be within the color palette and include coloring.

I used Basic Grey "sweet threads" spring tote paper (both sides) for the fringe piece and the pink piece on top of it and Bazzill Basics swiss dot for the background piece.

The stamps are:
Flower - Hero Arts
Birthday Blessings and the swirl - Technique Tuesday

I chose to use watercolor paints from Hero Arts on my flower. I had not colored in a long time and I really had fun. Enjoy!

Michelle

Hi Michelle, thank for following my blog and referring Nancy too! I am following you both now. I used to do a lot of scrapbooking but when I went digital, I lost my momentum :( I admire the card making.

Who is Micheggy?

Micheggy proper noun, slang -The combination name of Michelle James and Peggy Stolley. Often used when referring to both Michelle and Peggy

Michelle James is a former scrapbook store owner, who has moved on to another career, but still has a love for scrapbooking, paper crafting, and card making. Michelle's newest love is digital scrapbooking, where she can sit in front of her laptop, virtually anywhere, and manipulate digital versions of papers, brads, flowers and more to create pages for her treasured photos.

Peggy Stolley currently works as a sales representative for several different scrapbooking companies, but in her former lives she has worked as a retail employee and elementary school teacher. Peggy also loves scrapbooking, paper crafting, and cardmaking, and her passion is altering objects. She finds great pleasure in taking an old brie cheese container or jar of snack mix and turning it into an adorably altered item.

Micheggy has worked together on many projects, their most favorite of which are weekend long crops. Their crops are always full of fun, prizes, ideas, shopping opportunities, and other unique experiences known only to those crop attendees. Micheggy has also collaborated on classes, researching and teaching techniques to fellow paper crafters.
