Well after throwing away my first idea here is my piece
for this week's challenge. The challenge this week
involved the use of Distress Stickles and the lovely Linda
wants to know what colours we used. On my piece I used
some of Tim's Shabby paper stack and then used some
7 Gypsies stamps on the background, a grungeboard
butterfly and some bling. I used Fired Brick and

liberally applied the Rock Candy distress stickles
over the swirls and stamped butterfly. I took 5 pictures
of this and I cannot see the Rock Candy stickles,
but trust me it is there :)

I want to thank Linda for putting this challenge together,
every Monday I look forward to seeing what we have to
do for that week's challenge. Also I am definitely going
outside my box with some of these pieces, particularly
today's. Anyone who knows me knows that pink and
butterflies are not my thing, so today is definitely a
change for me. Looking forward to seeing what
everyone else does.

Marlene, this is indeed "Molto Bello!" What a gorgeous expression of this week's challenge! The colors really are fabulous (love those hot reds and pinks!) and the Stickles all look awesome! I can see the Rock Candy fine when I enlarge the photo, and it's so gorgeous on the stamped images. Great job!
I just love all the different techniques you try, Marlene. I am just not that adventurous, I suppose. Your butterfly is lovely, even if it's not "your thing" you still made it work!
I like your little bit about not being a fan of pink, because I feel like that and have found myself using pink more often! Anyway, I love your pink and butterfly! Great work!
I love the butterfly! The stickles show up great when you enlarge it, I had trouble taking my pics too.
Gorgeous art.
Yes, I used Rock Candy & had the same problem but I can see yours - it's a gorgeous piece, Marlene. Love the colours.
Absolutely beautiful Marlene! Love the colour & composition!
Yay, at first I had to rub my eyes, thought I was on the wrong blog for a sec...lol! Great piece Marlene, you need to step out of your box more often, looks great!
p.s. as for the Studio Cloth from US ArtQuest, you can order it directly from them online www.usartquest.com or sometimes a LSS store can get it for you, or an art supply store.
Lovely rich colours for your challenge this week, love it and the stickles work great on your piece of art. Have a lovely evening, Tracy Evans x
Gorgeous Marlene, I love your take on the challenge and Rock Candy Stickles is one of my favorites.
Beautiful colours and I love the texture you have given to the butterfly.

Marlene... I can definitely see the Rock Candy.... I love the texture it adds to your pieces. Simply beautiful :)
Very pretty great colours love the butterfly. xx Zoe
Very very nice piece Marlene. Your work is beautiful.
I can see your stickles! The whole effect is very pretty. I had a horible time getting a photo to show the stickles too! Thanks for the kind comment. :) Nan
Whew, this is, in fact, very beautiful!
Love the colors (I'm a schmuck for pink) and the shapes!
