New challenge at Scrap Africa

Hi everyone!  Just arrived back yesterday afternoon from our mini holiday.  It was lovely and relaxing but now it's back to the normal chores of running a household and entertaining the visitors.  By next week this time, everything should be returning back to normal and I will have time to get around and visit all my favourite blogs. :)  Thank you all for being so patient. 

Well, onto the new challenge at Scrap Africa!  This challenge is about CARDSTOCK ONLY.  Head over to the blog to see all the gorgeous creations by the DT and Guest DT members.  It's amazing what you can do with cardstock only. :)

The challnge:  Use only plain cardstock, no patterned papers.  But you are asked to use at least 3 colours of cardstock or more if you want to... and these you can alter by stamping or embossing, whatever way you want to.

Here is my example.  I've used a white cardstock background and cut the 'cross word' overlay from black cardstock using my Shilhouette machine. I've used 2 shades of orange cardstock to back my photo.

Added Prima flowers and Kaisercraft paper blooms and my leaves were punched from green cardstock using my Martha Stewart 'Frond' punch.

I've used a butterfly die-cut from my stash and the small alphabet stickers are from Basic Grey.

Entries for this challenge are due at the end of March. Hope you get a chance to play along. :)

That's all for today.  Hope you are having a lovely weekend!

Until next time.
