Guest Designing...CR84FN2 65

Hi There! I hope you are all having a great weekend! I have some exciting news to share and a new CR84FN color challenge :) I am finally able to spill the beans! The sweet and wildly talented Taylor Van Bruggen, Owner of Taylored Expressions has invited lil' ole me to join her and her super creative Design Team as a Guest Designer over the next TWO months. My official Guest Designer responsibilities begin this Thursday, November 4th. If you are not familiar with Taylored Expressions, please be sure to visit her on-line store (click HERE) to see all the fantastic stamps and accessories available for purchase. Surely, you may find something you NEED :)

On to the CR84FN color challenge - Thank you for the kind words, encouragement and support with this new adventure :) There were 23 fabulous entries!!! Many thanks to all those who played along :) Since this color challenge is about creating and having fun, I would like to invite ONE randomly selected participant as the CR4FN3 Guest Designer :) Without further ado:

Laurel, I would be honored if you would join along as my Guest for next week's challenge. Please email me by Monday, November 1st 9 PM Eastern so I can get the details to you!

The gorgeous photos displayed in the graphic are courtesy of Leslie from a creative MINT.
If you have never visited her site, please be sure to head on over there and see what you have been missing! Here's my interpretation:

To create this card, I inked up the graceful dove image from Sparkle & Cheer with VersaMark ink, embossed with silver embossing powder then using a S4-116 Standard Circles SM die template to cut/emboss the image and layered upon on a multi-layered flower embellishment. For sketch inspiration, I played along with this week's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge. 

Sparkle & Cheer is full of many elegant images that can be easily mixed & matched to create beautiful Holiday projects.

Thanks for looking & I sure do hope you play! Be Sweet :)

 Now for the CR84FN Challenge details:

I would like to invite ONE randomly selected participant as the next challenge's Guest Designer :) I would like to keep things on an even playing ground so in order to do so, all you need to do is follow a few simple guidelines:

*Please display the CR84FN graphic with your post if you have a blog. Leslie graciously offers her photos as inspiration and I would like to give her proper recognition. My dear hubby Scott takes the time to create the graphic. Seeing the graphic makes it much easier to locate your entry on your blog.

*Please do not combine the CR84FN with any other COLOR challenges.

*You are more than welcome to submit as many creations as you like however, the number associated with your first entry will be the number considered in the random generator.

Once you have your project photographed and uploaded to your blog or on-line gallery, please link the URL to your entry on this post using Inklinkz. If you use an on-line gallery, please be sure to use CR84FN2 as the keyword and if you have a blog, please display the graphic so I can easily find your entry. I hope you come join along and Create For Fun!

Challenge runs through Saturday, November 6th 9:00 PM Eastern.
