If you are looking for the Stamp Something challenge, please scroll down, it is the first post I did today. If you weren't looking for it and want to see it anyway (it's cute, I promise) please scroll down, too! There is a prize involved.
So, I am back with a little HHH (Hip Hop Hangover)! I didn't get any chatting in with the Unity Peeps yesterday because Tim was home, I had to make dinner for a friend, and I had to volunteer at the school, BUT I did take some time to make two cards. Each week, Jeanne comes up with two great challenges to get us to use our Unity rubber! Challenge #1 was to create a card using Easter colors. My new pack of dsp, A Walk in the Park, was calling to me. Really it was, it said, "Here I am, open me. Look at me! Use me!". So this is was I came up with. Oh, and I am finally, happy to say I have now used most of the images from my Feb. KOTM (Endings and Beginnings). There was a little mix up in the shipping, so I got my kit late. I was feeling pressure since my March kit should be here any day now (I hope). Okay, enough babble, on to the card.
I LOVE how this turned out. You can get this new pack of dsp on April 1 . The colors in it are-basic grey, cameo coral, kiwi, baja, and saffron. The ribbon is the saffron grosgrain from the SAB ribbon bundle (you can get that FREE until March 31, contact me to place an order). The layout was roughly inspired by the Diva's Coffee Break Designs blog. Kristin's card this week was so cute and I guess it was still in my head when I designed this card. Challenge #2 was to create a card using ovals.
This was a no brainer for me since there is this beautiful egg stamp in the KOTM. I stamped it three times on three different patterns of the SAB Darling Dots dsp pack. The flourish in the corner comes from the Growing in Unity kit. You can't see it in this photo, but I did add some stickles to the flourishes. It adds just the right touch of sparkle. Hey, it pays to play! I just saw that this card was picked as the winner. Doin' the Happy Dance! Unity rocks and so do Hip Hop Thursdays. Okay, I have gone on long enough. Do stop by Angela's blog (or this thread on SCS) to see what the other HHH peeps have posted today. Hugs, Lisa
