Friday Mashup #200!

I'm excited to participate in the Friday Mashup's 200th Challenge!

The challenge is to mashup your two favorite mashups!  That's like a mashup squared!

 I am mashing up Challenges FM1 and FM14.  From FM1, I am using butterflies and from FM14, I am using flowers and vintage.  Is this a mash up cubed?  Click here for a list of the last 199 challenges.

I have been dying to make another journal.  I thought a vintage feeling journal would be perfect!


I stamped two flowers and a butterfly from the Nature's Perfection stamp set (a new Sale-a-Bration product 139100).  I colored one flower with the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities and the other with the Calypso Coral Blendabilities.  I fussy cut them (it was quick and easy, mostly straight lines).  I colored the butterfly with Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Wild Wasabi  Blendabilities.  I wanted the purple color to be Blackberry Bliss, but unfortunately there's no Blendability set in that color.  What to do?  I colored first in the darkest shade of Wisteria Wonder and then colored over it with the lightest color of Rich Razzelberry.  It was a perfect match!  I punched out the butterfly with the Elegant Butterfly punch (127526).

I wanted a flowery banner down the side to give it a vintagey-feel (think Granny's curtains).  I colored in the flowers from the Park Lane DSP (133694) with the same Blendability colors.

This is perfect for coloring.  Makes me feel like a kid again!

To add to the vintage feel, I sponged Crumb Cake ink (126975) on a White Tea Lace Paper Doily (129399).  I used the the Hello You Thinlit Dies (137363) to cut the word "Hello" out of Blackberry Bliss Card Stock (133675).  I tied some linen thread around the front cover of the journal (104199) and I'm done!

Who should I give this to??

Fun Challenge!

Joyful Stamping,
