Challenge – TSSC101

Published on by Vicky Wright1 Comment
Hello Stampers,
I have finally manged to get home – for a couple of hours – chasing up stuff, etc & then on my way again!
I did this challenge late last night when it come through.  Not exacly what I had planed but still I am happy with it – maybe????
Card Sample
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Always
Cardstock – Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red
DSP – Walk in the Park – Retired
Ink – Pink Pirouette, Going Gray
Punches – 1 3/8″ Circle, 1 1/4″ Circle, 1/2″ Circle
Accessories – Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals, Pretties Kit

All in all this turned out to be a very easy 5 minute card, ie once I knew what colours I was going to use.  I have just realised that the DSP is not current, although it can always be replaced with one of the lovely current Designer Papers. 

To lift the card a little, I added the small gray flower inside the “Always”.
  It looked a little dull prior to that & I didn’t want to used Dazzling Diamonds.  I seem to be overloading on that stuff at the moment!

I have tried to vere away from the traditional colours of Valentine – to a certain extent I have! 
Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Heya Stampers,
I have just completed a challenge & thought I would show you my end results.  In fact I made 2 cards using the same sketch, except I turned one to the side.  As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew what stamp set I wanted to use, but had no idea of colours until I matched the colours with the patterened paper!
Card 1
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Circle Circus, Short & Sweet
Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Not Quiet Navy
DSP – Kiwi Kiss
Ink – Garden Green
Punches – Oval, 1″ Circle, 1 3/8″ Circle, 3/4″ Circle
Rhinestone Brads – Green – Small & Large
Accessories – Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals

Card 2
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Circle Circus, Short & Sweet
Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Not Quiet Navy, So Saffron
DSP – Pacific Point
Ink – Not Quite Navy
Punches – Oval, 1″ Circle, 1 3/8″ Circle, 3/4″ Circle, 1 1/4′ Circle
Accessories – Pearls from the Pretties Kit – Small & Large, Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals
When I saw this DSP in the catalogue, I didn’t much go for it, but after working with it & seeing the end result, I LOVE it!
Why not have a go at the sketch yourself & have a bit of fun at the same time!

Tomorrow I will show you what I did with some of the left over cardstock & paper!

It’s Friday! BUT then I just realised it doesn’t make any difference to me…..except I have a class at the local community centre every Friday.   I hope you have all had a great week & counting down the hours to a relaxing weekend.

I intend to try & weed the garden – have neglected it for sometime, so fingers crossed I am able to get out there into the sunny sun!

I’ve copied this card from the latest catalogue, except changed it around a little.  This is one of the cards I have to admit I hate doing, but they always come up so soft & lovely!

I almost forgot to post the matching card.  I did this to match in with the place cards, and as usual had no idea what I was going to do, except I had the colours in my hand ready to go.

Supplies –
Cardstock – Whisper White, Basic Black
DSP – Urban Oasis
Punches – Oval, Scallop Oval
Stamp Set – Oval All
Accessories – Pearl from Pretties Kit, Snail Glue, Stampin Emboss – White, StazOn – Black, Cuttlebug

You are not able to see, but I embossed the same flower on the envelope – black on black.  It come up really lovely as it was just suttle & didn’t stand out
Until tmw – Have a great day!
