Color Challenge 47

This week's Color Challenge is RED, PINK and GREEN.

Here is my project:
 

This week I chose to create an Art Journal by altering a composition notebook.  I chose a piece of red designer paper for the front and back of the book and then added a piece of pink cardstock for the binding.  The green strip along the binding is actually a piece of green Washi tape.  I stamped the flower and butterfly stamp from the Oriental Joy set  using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers along with the additional two butterflies.  The sentiments were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink from the Works of Art set.  All stamps are from MFP Stamp Shop.

I hope you'll play along with us this week, you can find the Color Challenge HERE.
