Dream Valley DT Challenge #74 - No Designer Paper
For the new challenge at The Squirrel and the Fox please scroll down to the previous post. Thanks!
Hello again, my dearios! We have another challenge at Dream Valley and this time it's No Designer Paper. Our lovely sponsor is Freckled Fawn who are offering a $20 voucher to spend at their store! You really have to go there and drool over their fabulous washi tape!!
Well, I don't know about you, but I found this challenge quite hard - every idea I had needed to be revised! It's not just that I couldn't use dp to mat and layer, I couldn't use it for embellishments or paper piecing, either!
Thank goodness for embossing folders!
I used a Cuttlebug Tiny Hearts folder to emboss the background, then went over it lightly with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I cut the 2 hearts with an X-cut die. Henry Mouse hugging Heart is a stamp from Whiff of Joy and I used Promarkers to colour him. (List below.) The heart has been Glossy Accented. I fussy cut him and added him with foam pads.
The banner is cut from a stamp in Lawn Fawn's 'Bannerific' stamp set, I coloured the flags with Worn Lipstick, stamped with Woodware 'Oriental Alphabet' letters, and the heart is a gem from stash. They are also added with foam pads.
The ribbon came with a box of chox at Christmas and the flowers are all by Wild Orchid Crafts. The leaves are cut with a Woodware punch.
I'm pleased to say that every part of the card was made with large and small snippets! So I am entering Pixie's Snippets Playground after a long absense. (I've got a note from me Mum, honest, Miss!)
Have a look at my teamies' fab and clever work, then set yourself the challenge of No Designer Paper and see what you can make! :)
Thanks for looking!
