Challenges

This week DRS Designs is the sponsor at Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge. We are to create Artist Trading Cards with words or greetings being the main emphasis. ATCs are suppose to be 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. I created a graduation ATC that I'll add to a card later on. Here's what I came up with.

The Real Red CS was cut to the correct size. After stamping the Success today greeting in Memento Black ink on the white CS, I stamped the grad cap in Real Red after stamping off once. We'd love to have you join the fun at Wicked Wednesday. You can see details here.

My next card was created using the sketch design for this week's ODBD Shining Light Challenge 199. Sketch Challenges used to be my favorite type of challenge. Now I'm finding them a bit more difficult. This card didn't turn out quite like I had imagined, but I do like the result.

The card base is purple CS. I seem to be on a purple craze lately. I started by stamping the bird cage, sentiment and banner with VersaColor Black ink on white CS, die cut and attached them to a piece of purple CS that was embossed with the Swiss dots folder. The little bird was stamped with VersaColor Petal pink ink, die cut and attached to the bird cage. The DP is from my stash. I rarely use it any more, but decided to bring it out today. Some white ribbon and rhinestones complete the card.  

Thanks for stopping by today.

Until next time,
