Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio glitter; Lawn Fawn & BoBunny patterned
Dies - SSS Festive Tags (Stamptember-sold out);
Other - Hero Arts ephemera; SSS sentiment strip;
lace & silver cord from stash; Park Lane gems
We had the following options for creating our cards:
Color Palette Option
Sketch Option
Theme Options: Clouds / On The Farm / Friendship
Product / Technique Options: Dies / Fussy Cutting
As you can see, I skipped the colors and sketch this time. I used the Friendship theme and the dies technique.
I've previously mentioned doing the Cardmaking Stash Summit at the end January. One of the challenge themes was friendship so I took the opportunity to make my CCC card! You also had to use something shiny & something you've avoided. My shiny was the glitter paper and the avoided item was the ephemera pack I used. It's been on the desk for a while and I didn't have inspiration for it until the Summit. I found the butterfly a home on a tag from last year's Tim Holtz class along with a strip of glitter paper and a printed sentiment from SSS. Assembled the tag and added it to a stitched rectangle on an A2 card. Some lace and silver cord, plus gems on the butterfly finished it off.
I received this beautiful card from Daja in Germany. I just love her sweet bunny and fancy fold!! Also, I was delighted that the card arrived so quickly - a Christmas card from Gundi took over a month!
Want to join the challenge? You only need to make and mail one card - easy peasy!! You can still sign up for the March Challenge until the 6th - go HERE for details.
That's it for today. Thanks for visiting and have a crafty day!!
