This week for the Limited Supplies Challenge on SCS, Judy took inspiration from lyrics from the Sound of Music! When creating your card you are to use some of favorite things, but on a limited basis!!! She even gave us a list, which I kept checking to make I stayed within the "rules"!!
So for my card here I used:
* Stamps: Thanks a Latte by Treehouse Stamps. This is my favorite of Ashley's stamps, and I LOVE coffee and sweets!! I could drink coffee all day long and if sweets were a food group, I'd be in heaven!!
* Cardstock: My favorite color combo is pink/brown, but I also really like Pumpkin Pie!!! So pairing these three colors together was a no brainer with the new Sweet Always dsp I just received!!!
* Embellies/Tools: Well, I LOVE my punches!! So I went punch crazy here using my MS scallop border, ticket corner, 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches. I used buttons as my embellies, but now I see they aren't on the list!! Oh, well!
* I did paper piecing on the coffee cup with the Sweet Always dsp and popped up the cup portion with dimensionals. That is one of my favorite techniques, as well as sponging my cardstock. I really like to add sponging to any white cardstock, as I feel it takes some of the glare from the white away!! I also used Crystal Effects on the coffee, steam & cherries to make them more "real"!
