I stumbled across the Pile It On challenge the other day and decided to give a shot. The concept behind Pile It On is to incorporate their challenge with as many other current challenges as you'd like. This week you had to use at least 3 embellishments--I used flowers, some AC flair, chipboard, and a rhinestone. I combined it with Cuttlebug Challenge #39--to use woodsy animals, natural elements and the colors orange, green, & blue. I used this Sassafras deer paper that I won from Moxie Fab World, embossed the green strip with my distressed stripes folder to mimic the texture of tree branches, and added the bird & flowers. Finally, I used this week's CPS sketch for my layout.
I'm not loving this card...hubby's only comment was, "It's busy." Ouch. Perhaps I should stick to one challenge at a time?
Paper: Kraft, Sassafras Lass, BasicGrey, & SU dp
Accessories: Cuttlebug distressed stripes, flowers (Prima), chipboard (Making Memories), rhinestone (Me & My Big Ideas), flair (American Crafts)

it's a bit off the topic, but I like how you explain the design, so a newbie like me can learn easier. It;s not busy, but probably it's not as calm as your other designs?
