Creative Crew - May Cards (Just click on this link)
The first card I made for the Catalog Focus Challenge. Choose any illustration from the 2015-2016 Share the Fun catalog to recreate using different stamps than the ones featured in the catalog. I choose the design from Page 100 of the 2015-2016 SU Catalog. The only thing that I used was the layout for my card, changing everything!!
Stamps: Age Awareness
Cardstock: Cajun Craze Background, Botanical Blooms DSP, Whisper White
Ink: Cajun Craze
Accessories: Washi Tape, Dimensions
Here is the next card, Holiday Focus. This was a hard one!! I was given different holidays to come up with a card from. You would think no problem, until you see the holiday choices. I choose Hug Your Cat Day; but I could have chosen Scurvy Awareness Day, Star Wars Day, Cinco de Mayo, National Lost Sock Memorial Day, Clean up Your Room Day (a favorite I bet of all Mom's), Frog Jumping Day, Lucky Penny Day and My Bucket's Got a Hole in it Day!
Stamp Set: Giggle Greetings
Cardstock: Pool Party Base, Bohemian DSP, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White
Ink: Black; Soft Suede Cajun Craze Markers
Accessories: Bohemian Washi Tape, Dimensions
The next card challenge was DSP/Color Focus. Choose a tutorial from the Tutorials section of SCS to feature your favorite color combo. I choose the Foxy Oxi tutorial, which I also used for our monthly technique class. I sponge color onto the Whisper White piece, sprinkled some Oxi Clean to this piece of cardstock and then lightly misted it with water. After I let it dry, I then stamped the flower in Chocolate Chip.
Stamp Set: Butterfly Basics and Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock: Pacific Point Base, Old Olive Base, Rich Razzelberry, Whisper White
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Island Indigo, Old Olive
Accessories: White Stitched Satin Ribbon
The last challenge was Scrapbook and More Focus. We were given a layout and advised we could use this layout for any size mini book, scrapbook page, journal cover or card sketch. I choose card sketch and came up with this "You're in My Thoughts" card.
Stamp set: Flower Shop, Watercolor Wash
Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss Base, Shimmery White Layer, Soft Sky, Mambo Melon, Smokey Slate
Ink: Soft Sky, Blackberry Bliss, Black
Accessories: Gold Clip, Dimensions, Pansy Punch
