This week's challenge at Just Us Girls is to make your own flower - there's a great tutorial on their blog showing how to make tissue paper flowers. Unfortunately I haven't got any tissue so I made mine using the 2 smallest scalloped nesties and inked and curled the edges. Think it looks not too bad for a first attempt!The Secret Crafter #55 is to use orange and one other colour
Treehouse Thursday #20 is to use embossing - I used my cuttlebug spider's web embossing folder
Copic Buzz challenge #19 is no patterned papers. I got a few new grey's through the post this morning, so this was my first practice trying to achieve the 'black' effect .... I need more practice methinks!
Copic Creations challenge #14 is to use Black as a colour, though I'll have to go back and have another study at their tutorials!
Magnolia-licious Highlites have a challenge to make a clean and simple card.
There's also quite a few spooky / halloween themed challenges this week:
Stampin for the weekend #21
Polkadoodle #23
Creative Inspirations #32
Crafty Creations #38

this is just too cute, thanks for playing along with the Treehouse Thursday challenge
i stumbled onto your blog from the Just Us Girls Challenge blog and first i love your card. The flower is awesome! Second, I'm loving your westie! I have a westie too named Snowflake so i'm always excited when i see another fellow westie owner :)
Oh WOW!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your 3-D flower!! I am going to try this...today maybe ;] So cute and I love how you cut each petal after every other scallop to give the petal ends a unique look. Very clever! Your card is fabulous...I love your zombie (coloring is FANTASTIC!), your spiderweb embossed background and that orange faux stitching! So cute :O)
Thank you for playing along with Just Us Girls this week! Be sure to come back again next week for our Wild Card challenge that I'm hosting - EVERY participant will be a winner ;] You don't want to miss it!

WOW -- this is terrific! I just love that you did a halloween card -- your flower is prefectly 'halloweeny' :) and that you used that dripping goo punch -- you know, I HAD to have that punch LAST YEAR, and have yet to use it. You've inspired me.
Thanks for joining us on the JUGS challenge!
GORGEOUS 3-D flower! I agree with Kristin, you are very creative to cut petals! I never would have thought to do that with my scalloped nesties!!! I am lovin' all the detail in this card :) Great way to combine all those challenges!
Thanks so much for playing along with this week's 3-D challenge! I hope to see more of your creations in all the upcoming challenges! Kristin has a real treat next week!
Such a great card! Thanks for the comment on my blog! I am now a follower of yours :) Good luck in the challenge!!
Such a cute card!
Thanks for joining in at Creative Inspirations! xxx
Wow...love this card! The dripping is amazing and such a creative idea!
Hugs!
what fun - grey and orange looks amazing together! I was going to go with orange and black but in the end decided to use brown instead. I am still working on my card so will post tomorrow. That flower looks fabulous and I love that goo again! Nice faux stitching too. Jo x
Wow! I love your flower! So clever! I'll definitely have to give this one a go! And your card is so cute! I love the drippy goo punch (have it...love it!) and your Frankenstein! Too cute! Thanks so much for playing our challenge! Hope to see you again!
P.S. We had a Gordon Setter named Abbey and her AKC registered name was Abbey Dabbey Doo! Your blog name reminded me of her! :-)
What a GREAT 3d flower. I have tried this before but didn't get the "realistic" look you did - I think it's the inking of all the edges - it's fantastic and a super fun card to boot! Thanks SO much for playing along with Just Us Girls! I hope you had a great time and will join us again next Saturday for a brand new challenge.
Love the flower....it looks great....may have a go myself.
