This week on Stampin' Chic....is

LIMITED SUPPLIES CHALLENGE

Time For a new challenge.... and my turn for the Limited supplies challenge. Can you believe its Friday? the weeks in 2009 are whizzing by and its Good Friday already...

This week I'm challenging you to keep in shape... It doesn't mean you need to go off and workout LOL, You need to pick a shape and follow it through all the elements of your creation...

Eg: If you chose square...

Card base: Square

Image: stamped on square

Embellishments: square

Sentiment: on square

Same would apply for a circle, rectangle, oval, etc etc! Hope you have good fun its a challenging one!

Well I chose heart as my shape and as it was a heart thought it would be perfect for a congratulations card. I used whatever circles I had at hand to create my hearts, different rolls of sellotape seemed to do the trick LOL!

I have used my scallop scissors to decorate the edge of main heart. The floral image I have stamped on a heart and cut out the central flower and raised on foam, all the flowers have been embellished with a shimmer dot!

I have used the hearts in the Papermania Sweet nothings set and framed CCSR champagne glasses, cut out and raised on 3d foam. Sentiment has been over stamped onto heart and heat embossed. Click images for close up.

Materials:
Paper: CCSR - the big one Paper pack, PM - Hot pinks, Doodlebug - le fluer
Stamps: CCSR - stamping chic party set, CCSR - Sentiments, Papermania - sweet nothings
Ink: Colourbox Qs, Vivid - black,

Limited Supplies Challenge #1 - Only One...

This week on Stampin' Chic....is a

LIMITED SUPPLIES CHALLENGE

and its a challenging one! We challenge you to only use ONE piece of patterned paper no more, that's it just one piece of patterned paper but of course you can also use other supplies like brads, ribbons etc., you can also use plain card if you have it... in fact whatever you want as long as you use no more than ONE piece of patterned paper!

So here's my card, I have used one striped sheet which I have chopped into rectangle pieces inked the edges and arranged on the card base like a mosaic effect! For the sentiment I have stamped the scalloped border onto white card and pink card, then stamped the sentiment into the frame on the white and cut out to raise up. The scallop took ages to cut and not sure if the pick card actually tones very well with the pp, I coloured in the dots with a matching whispers pen.

The gifts have simply been stamped and cut, the cluster of flowers are assembled with gorgeous brads, and one of the flowers I have changed the colour of with one of the whispers pens, using a water brush, left to dry it gives and great variegated effect! The circle is just brads pushed through in a circle. Will have to get some PM bling and make a shiny circle! click on images to enlarge!!!

Paper: CCSR - the big one Paper pack, PM - Hot pinks
