Exciting News and a Card

Happy Sunday All,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I don't typically post on Sundays, but that is going to change. I have some fun and exciting news to share, I have been asked to join the design team at Pile It On! challenges! Of course, I said YES! I love challenges and I'm honored to work with this talented bunch of crafters!If you don't know about Pile It On!, head on over there now and check it out. They are a fun weekly challenge site which posts new challenges each Sunday. What makes Pile It On! unique though, is that not only do you need to use the PIO! challenge, but you also need to incorporate other blog challenges into your entry. Basically, challenge yourself to see how many challenges you can add to one project! Fun right! The only stipulation is that the combined challenges need to be current challenges for them to count in the Pile It On! challenge.

This is my first Pile It On! design team card. I used the Pile It On! challenge this week, which is to use at least 3 different embellishments. Then I added the challenges at Whiff of Joy, which is 3 papers, 3 flowers, and 1 ribbon, the color challenge of Guava, Chocolate, and Sky at Color Throwdown, the sketch from Sketch and Stash, and the challenge of a Stitch in Time from Cute Card Thursday.

I used this Willow with Umbrella image and paper pieced her pants and top with some Soft Sky designer paper and colored the other areas of the image with Copics. The umbrella has been paper pieced with chocolate and guava designer paper. The card stock is Groovy Guava and Chocolate Chip from SU! with other retired designer prints. I embellished with felt flowers, flower buttons, a flower charm, stitched ribbon, grosgrain ribbon, and some faux stitching with a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by, now what are you waiting for, get piling those challenges together! Then head over to Pile It On! challenges and check out the fabulous DT samples and play along with us! Happy Stamping!
