It's a beautiful but chilly morning here in NY, I think I'd like to be a cat - just curl up in a sunny spot in a window somewhere :)
It's Saturday -- JUGS challenge day. It's the third Saturday - time for a color challenge!
Maria Levine is our host this week, and she's come up with a GREAT color palette. Take a look for yourself:
Now, I will admit, I was a little nervous, I was having a hard time thinking of something, but then I saw my friend Pam's card using the sketch challenge from last week at Taylored Expressions, and something just clicked. Here's the sketch:
I grabbed out my Baby Button Bits set, and used the cute flower image. It may be hard to see, but I used some embroidery floss to hand stitch the stems, and to attach the buttons. A little faux stitching on the dark chocolate layer -- and that's about it.
I hope you have a little time to stop by the rest of the team's blogs, they've all come up with some FABULOUS designs this week.
- and Iwona Palamountain - our February guest designer!
I hope you get to play along too -- post your link on the post over on the JUGS blog to be eligible to be 'chic of the week'.
Have a SUPER day!!

Stamps: Baby Button Bits
Ink: Brilliance Chocolate
Paper: Vintage Cream, Dark Chocolate, Berry Sorbet, Raspberry Fizz

This is such a cute card! I LOVE the buttons on the flowers.
Love this card, Tracey! I used that sketch earlier in the week, too! It works wonderfully with your choice of stamps! Great use of the colors, too! And LOVE the hand-stitching! Very clever!
Love the color scheme! I'll have to give this challenge a try. Glad I could "help" out. hehe

Gosh Tracey this is fantastic - I love the simplicity and clean look of it - the button bits are fab! Great job showcasing the colors this week.
Great take on the color challenge. Your faux stitching looks just like the real thing :-)
Tracey, Oh my gosh! This card is gorgeous! I love that PTI stamp set! You really knocked this color challenge out of the park!
