Squiggle Fly Challenge #19 and MSB update

It's Monday and that means another challenge over at Squigglefly. The challenge this week is to make a card with a Mellow Moss background, use no embellishments AND make your card 5x5. When I wrote down the challenge, I completely missed the size requirment ~ oops ~ and the ironic thing is, that for the most part, my cards are usually square (although I prefer 5 1/2 x 5 1/2). But no, this time I had to go and make a "normal size" card.

I have come to the conclusion that I need to invest in some more nesties one of these days. I only have two sets ~ the rectangles and scalloped rectangles which don't give me a whole lot of options ~ especially when I want circles and ovals on my card. Now only if I didn't have all these other bills.....

Come and play along with our challenge this week ~ we'd love to see what you come up with!

Please check back in with me on Friday as I will be taking part in the Squigglefly blog hop. We will be showcasing the new images being released on Saturday the 19th and you will also have a chance to win a grand prize that includes all 13 new images. Providing all goes well, I may even have a sneek peek or 2 for you before then....

This card also qualifies for the following challenges:
Charisma Cardz - Patchwork
Crafty Creations - Embossing
Cute Card Thursday - "Strawberry Mint Julep" - pink and green
My Time to Craft - "Polka Dot Party" - anything with dots or spots

Jodi, this is great! I'm kind of stumped by these colors, and no embellishments?! I don't know why you need nestabilities when you've got the punches. The scroll flourishes add so much to your layout!
