With this card I managed to combine 4 challenges. Today's colour challenge (pink pirouette, perfect plum and kiwi kiss), yesterdays technique challenge TLC207 - Cut it out and Sundays featured stamper challenge #fs105 (k dunbrook) on Splitcoast Stampers and this weeks challenge #24 at House Mouse & Friends - make a tall and thin card. I stamped the House Mouse image - Perfect Fit - in stazon jet black on whisper white. Image was coloured with prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. I clear embossed the thimble. Image was masked and then I sponged on pale plum. Main card is 9 1/4" x 4". Base of card is perfect plum, next is pink pirouette. My designer paper is from a pack purchased at Wal Mart - ATD - wildflowers. I matted the image with perfect plum and kiwi kiss. I did a wandering stitch around the card twice and zig zag stitch where the papers meet and down the sides of the image. I ran a piece of kiwi kiss through the cuttlebug with the leafy branch's folder and cut out leaf section. Attached the paper flower and button to the upper right corner and the sentiment and silver hardware to the upper left.
