Little Flowers Color Challenge

Today I'm trying a new challenge. It's a color combo challenge from Picture Perfect Creations.

This week's colors are Rose Red, Basic Black, Whisper White, & Bashful Blue. I've been wanting to make a card that takes advantage of how perfectly suited the Little Flowers stamps are to become Build-a-Brads & this seemed like a great opportunity. Paired up with some Thoroughly Modern designer paper & I was all set. Color combo challenges are always fun because they make me stretch in ways I wouldn't have on my own & yet they leave room for all sorts of freedom too.

Microbead Pen

I decided to go a little out of the box this morning. Yesterday I saw a tutorial on making a microbead pen on Splitcoast & I really wanted to give it a shot. It was a quick & easy project that would make a fun little gift & may even keep folks from easily stealing your pen. I do need to pick a larger, more shallow, container for my microbeads to get them to stick more evenly next time. This project also gave me a chance to use a set I got from Sale-a-Bration that I hadn't found the right project for until now. Little Flowers has six super cute & tiny flowers to choose from & they fit nicely on my pen. This way they can't get lost in a crowd.
