Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge - Purple and Green

Today's Designer's Choice Challenge from Repeat Impressions was chosen by me! It has nothing to do with Independence Day, but I hope everyone in the US is enjoying their holiday. The challenge is to make a card or project using the colors green and purple. You can find all the details on the Repeat Impressions blog, The House That Stamps Built. One random winner for the  month will win a full sheet of unmounted rubber of their choice. You can find the wonderful creations by the Rock Stars on the blog, too. Or you can follow these links to their blogs:

I used a stamp from the new series called Beautiful Days. The stamp I used is called Hydrangea. You can find it, along with the other new stamps on this page. I paper-pieced the flowers and the leaves. I colored the stem and the bee. I added some Stickles to the little bee's wings. The papers are from my favorite Recollections matstack.

You still have nearly a week to participate in the latest WHAT IF? Wednesday sketch challenge, too, for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
