The End of them...



These are the last of my WCMD challenge cards. I didn't win the Unity prize, but that's okay, it was just the incentive I needed to jump in and do all seven challenges. This first one was the Limited Supplies challenge-No P's please. We couldn't use designer paper or pastels! No pattern paper was definitely a challenge for me, especially when told not to use it, it made me want to use it more. I decided to make my own. I used the funky, Hullabaloo stamp. Inked it up in white and stamped it on Kraft cs. I also kept it simple with just the two colors, tied it up with some Riding Hood Taffeta ribbon and added a choc. chip felt flower. The last challenge card I have for you turned out to be my favorite for the fact that I really tried something new. It was the technique challenge and we had to create our own layered flowers. If you use different sized circles and layer the on top of each other, ruff up their edges and hold them together with a button or brad you can make some pretty cool flowers as an accent for your card. I really wanted to try one of those ribbon flowers like we did at Convention. So I did. I actually made three of them and used them as a layer on my flowers. I really struggled with the stitching at Convention when we did these, but this weekend I was able to make them rather quickly. Yeah, me! This is a big, bulky card, one I would never mail ( at least not without special packaging) but someone someday is going to get this beautiful, card for their Birthday! Happy Wednesday! Hugs,
