Ever have one of those days? Kids woke me up way too early; spilled coffee everywhere; I've got sinus issues and cramps; broke my cuttlebug (aaaackkkkk!) and, if that wasn't enough, had to work on taxes. Just yuck, yuck, yuck.
But, I did manage to put the finishing touch on my card for Michelle Perkett's color challenge this week. The combo is Magenta, Pale Pink, Orange and Green. How perfect for a spring card! I actually ended up coloring three different images for this challenge until I could get one near where I wanted it. I was having a little trouble blending my magenta. I think here it's finally how I want it to look!
The image is Michelle's sisters of spring and they're colored with Copics, paired with SU Only Orange cardstock and Bazzill dp. The butterfly is made out of Green Galore with a Spellbinder Die (right before I broke the bug!). Dang, who knew those things could explode like that. My sandwich was a little too big and I tried to force it - duh. The side just jumped off that thing with such force it knocked down my little flower bottles! LOL!
So, now, I'm left with the question of whether to replace the Cuttlebug or get a Wizard instead. Any thoughts? I use the bug mostly for Nesties and embossing and think I might get cleaner lines with the Wizard. Love to hear if you have tried either and your opinions!

I hope you are feeling better quickly. Sinus issues can be such a pain. I've been fighting them too!!
As for the "bug" -- ummm well I did EXACTLY the same thing last weekend. I didn't even think about upgrading to a wizard. I just couldn't live without my bug so I ran to Michael's and bought my new one right away!!!
