So, what's our challenge? What's 2 by 2 and loves to take center stage? It's a "twinchie" and it's what our release week challenge is all about. To take part, all you need to do is make a 2 by 2 inch segment the focal point on your card. I liked them so much I had to make 2 Twinchies the focal point of my card!
Actually there are a lot of Flourishes stamps that are perfect for this challenge because so many of our stamps have the image in different scale sizes. I took out this beautiful Lilac set and inked the smaller lilac blooms twice and colored them with Copic Markers (Petunia and Meadow Collections) I took my color palette from this yummy new Basic Grey Paper Green at Heart, it's a perfect match to Razzleberry and Melon Mambo cardstock from SU.
Below you can see the fluttering butterflies and the fancy flourish edges. Two types of ribbon too - dotted sheer in Apple Green (which I LOVE!) and Scalloped Edge in Bright Pink. Ok, so maybe the two ribbons were a little overkill, but it's a bright card :)
So now I KNOW you want to jump in and create with Twinchies too! You have until Friday, April 16th at 5 PM EST to enter for your chance to win our entire April release!
