Bloggers Challenge, Grungy Monday and Pink Saturday!

Wow!  It has been three weeks since my last post and I do apologize if I have not been around as much.  Kind of in a slump and having some problems with too much typing or holding my arm at a certain height.  So when I do post and comment, it may be a little shorter than usual.

We are entering this at Grungy Monday - Distress Ink Color Blocking, using techniques from the one and only Lord Holtz and Lisa's Bloggers Challenge - Sketch Challenge.  We are also linking this for the first time with Pink Saturday.  The flower I had made some time back, just playing around with a scalloped Martha Stewart Rotary Cutter and when I saw Lisa's sketch challenge, I decided to use this flower!  For the color blocked background, I used Barn Door, Vintage Photo, Spun Sugar and Dusty Concord and then embossed it using one of the new Textured Fades.  I also embossed the strip behind the flower.  The border punch is trim is from Stampin Up and I used Elegant Eggplant ribbon.  Papers are Stampin Up and Tim Holtz.  After all was said and done, I wish I had made the background larger as to me the flower was too big.

Hope you all are enjoying some better weather!  To say the least, it has been weird all over!  Thank you for stopping by and have a great rest of the week!
