Create With Connie and Mary 216 - It's a Scavenger Hunt!

There are some awfully fun things going on over at Create With Connie and Mary this week.  Not only do we have a fun color challenge, but there is a Scavenger Hunt going on.  And the prize?  One lucky winner will receive a subscription to the 2012 Create With Connie and Mary Holiday Edition!  Be sure to head on over to Create With Connie and Mary to read the rules of the contest.  But be sure you keep on reading here, because I've got a clue to share!

Now, on to my card.  As I contemplated what I wanted to do for this fabby color challenge, I came across a sketch that I had used previously to make a card.  I really liked that card so I decided to use the sketch again for my card this week.



Are these fantastic colors or what?  I stamped the flowers from Summer Silhouettes in Rich Razzleberry, then fussy cut them out.  I've got a simple layer of Night of Navy and Lucky Limeade which I jazzed up a bit with some Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine.  I thought the flowers were a little plain so I added a Basic Rhinestone to the center of each one, then added a few more randomly around the design.

Preview week at Create With Connie and Mary is winding down and with it, is your chance to sign up for the 2012 Create With Connie and Mary Holiday Edition at a discounted price.  But for this week only, you have a chance to win a subscription by hopping around the Design Team blogs and collecting some important clues in our Scavenger Hunt.  My secret Create word is is, so write it down and head on over to Create With Connie and Mary so you know what to do with it!

Thanks for stopping by today!  The Design Team has got some fabulous cards for you to get your creative juices flowing so be sure to stop on by.  Then grab those stamps and inks and join us.  Remember this is a Stampin' Up! only challenge so don't sneak any other stamps or paper in there!!
