Timeless Tuesday!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC9)!!!! Thanks so much to all of you who played along with us last week with the embossing challenge. Keep reading to find out who won last week!!!

For those of you who are new to the site, the Friends of Flourishes blog team are bringing you exciting and different challenges each week. Everyone can PLAY and anyone can WIN! Make sure you continue reading to find out how.

This week Dee Jackson is hosting the challenge. She is challenging us to Go Green!!!! What does that mean? Well, it means that you have to find something to redo, to reuse, so you can say you recycled!!! I know you have many items that were created that did not quite make it on a card and you stashed it away for another time. Also, there are all kinds of non-craft items in the home waiting to be reused for something crafty. So, the time is now!!!! Let us go green and recycle those items!!!! We can hardly wait to see what you do!!!!!.

Come with me and let's see what the blog team created with the Go Green challenge!!!!

Up first this week is Silke Ledlow. She is using the I Love Roses and the
Mixed Greetings sets. I love the colors and layout she chose. Everything from the tearing shimmerzed edge to the shimmerz colored roses is just beautiful. Love the cut out dimension on the roses. Love the button with the ribbon detailing, too. For her go green challenge, the piece of green cardstock is a leftover from another project and the ribbon is recycled from a birthday party favor. This wonderful ribbon was used to tie the treat bags. Beautifully done, Silke!!!

Becca Feeken is using some warm earthtones to further celebrate our go green challenge. She is using the Chairs For You and You Are Invited sets. I love that the Chairs For You set has more than just chairs in the set. This beautiful plant with urn is one of the pieces in the set and Becca has arranged and colored it beautifully. Love how she added some gem detailing to the plant and the card. For the go green challenge, Becca is recycling cardboard backing from some packing. It's the brown background on her card. Love the pop of the big organdy with satin piping bow to finish off her beautiful card.

Next up is Betty Wright. I am using two stamp sets. One of the new releases this month Timeless Quotes and I Love Roses. I am using just the rosebud image and I have paired it with the friendship quote. I have used some of the Basic Gray Porcelain dp. For the go green challenge, I am using a jeweled hairpin that used to belong to my daughter. I tucked it in behind the ribbon knot. I did add little pearls in the center of the jeweled flowers to coordinate with the accent pearls I used.

Cindy Haffner is using the Fantasy Floral Garden set. She has combined it with some beautiful papers and colors. Love her cut out and dimensional flower. It is beautifully colored, too!!!Cindy's attention to the details is amazing. She has little punched flowers and butterflies and little pearl accents added that just makes this card wonderful. For the go green challenge, Cindy has reused this image from a stash of colored images she keeps on her desk and she is using some buttons she cut off of an old blouse she no longer wears. Wonderfully done, Cindy!!!

Be sure to check out each designer's blog links for more specific card details.
