A Last Minute Challenge

Do not feel like I can let Ready Steady Stamp challenges down so I was delighted when I realised the card I had made for my friend Lynn comprised of most of the things included in their recipe for this challenge.


I did, however, feel a bit of a cheat because the background paper I had used contained the colours cream, brown and had leaves on it.


I was lucky in that I had already added a piece of green ribbon and the words, mounted on foam dots, on cream cardstock so all there was to do was put some numbers on which I did using Morning Rose Adirondack Ink to colour them.

All ingredients accounted for except the corrugated card but then it didn't matter as long as you had used three things.

However, thinking about it I felt a bit of a cheapskate so I made her a mail slider as well which does cover all the ingredients.


Painted all over with cream acrylic paint, with a corrugated card oval with two coats of Morning Rose on it and then another plain one with one coat on plus the lace effect (MS Punch) down the side took care of two of the colours.  The brown butterfly took care of another.



More Morning Rose coloured cardstock for the flowers, green for the leaves, brown along the edges and on the words.  There, I feel better about this challenge now.
