March Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge

Hello everyone

March 1st........Boy, the months are clicking by, aren't they. Well it's time for the March challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ.

For your inspiration, I have a card that is made up of mainly paint chips.  You know, those paint swatches we see in the paint department, you know - the ones we bring them home and probably put in a drawer and forget about.

Well, I received some paint swatches to use on my March Craft-Dee BowZ cards and decided to make some flowers, not knowing if it would work. Well here is the end result of that attempt. The three largest flowers were made using a die.


I cut one of the swatches down into thin strips to use as an accent. Glitter on the white space between the colors makes for a perfect addition of glitz.

Speaking of accents - what would that card be without a bow. I decided to use a single loop bow  and of course I made it with  my Craft-Dee BowZ tool. That tool makes the perfect bow!!!


The card - oh the card,  lets take a peek at the whole card


Next time you are in the paint department, pick up some paint chips and get creative.

    Absolutely fantastic. I adore how you used the paint chip and put glitter between the colors. And those flowers are outstanding! The way you've used strips of paint chips is wonderful and I'm going use some of my paint chips that way. Fantastic card! Hugs, Gail
