Pink Cat Studio Enchanted Lily and OCC Challenge

Hi Friends!! Before I start. . .do you think I write too much stuff on my posts? LOL!

Okay. . .I'm really proud of myself. Why? Well, this is my second week of participating in the OCC Challenge. I'm going to be honest. . .I'm challenge challenged. LOL! This card initially was not intended for the challenge. I had started on the card using a circle shape and began cutting the border and started piecing the layout together . . .sort like a puzzle then I remembered that OCC had a challenge. I looked at the sketch and I was like "hey, I still can create a card using their sketch". Unfortunately, the sketch has an oval shape but that's okay, close enough! LOL!

Why am I challenge challenged? Well, I'm really random when I create cards. I don't plan really. . .just sort of grab things as I go and try to come up with some sort of layout. The embellishments that I use are usually stuff that I remembered I had or it's something sitting on my table and I just throw it on the card! LOL!

For example, do you see the paper clips? Well, I had a container of paper clips on my table because I was clipping papers together last night and I left it open on my desk. When I was creating the card, I saw it and pulled some paper clips out. You see what I mean by random.

Anyway. . .I'm not sure I'm digging the colors on my card. It looked good when I was putting it together. Okay, what Lily pad is orangey colored? LOL!

I decided to use my Pink Cat Studio "Enchanted Lily" stamp because I actually had pre-stamped it on a card stock but did not color it. When I was cleaning my desk up last night, I noticed that it was sitting there waiting for me to color Lily.

I had applied Versamark all over the image and heat embossed it with my SU Iridescent Ice embossing powder which resulted in a very shimmery image. It's much more shimmery in person. Again, I colored my image with Copic Markers.

Hey, just to let you know. . .I added a list of challenge blogs to my right side bar. I'm still working on it. . .there's a ton of them out there. I'll add more as I come across them. If you know of any that you don't see on my list, let me know. . .I'd love to add them on!!
