WT477 - Go Non-Traditional (5/1/14)

[tygerpaws11]

It's Thursday again! Don't you love how we get one of those every week?!?! Well, this Thursday, I'm asking you to break the norm. Yup, we are going non-traditional! I want you to use cork or something other than paper on your project.

For my sample, I used a die to cut some sticky-back cork that's been in my stamp room for who knows how long. The genius Sabrina made a cork board looking card. You see what I mean - GENIUS and so adorable!!!

Be sure to put WT477 in the keyword, so we can pin your Cork Creations to our gallery too!

Going to have to think about this one. Great challenge.

So much fun. Been out shopping this morning, just getting up to my craft attic now.

Had to dig a bit to find my sheet of cork.....knew I had some. : ) Fun challenge, Michelle.

CORK & GEARS

[MariLynn]

Thanks Holly for sharing your FAUX CORK technique. Going to have to give it a try.

WOW - you sure can call this a challenge! I created a faux cork and was pretty happy with the outcome, but then had no idea how to finish the card. I came up with some pretty elements to add to it, I think, but not too sure about the end result. Thanks for a great challenge! Here's my Corky Card

[Robin Lee]

What a great idea! I had some cork shoved in a corner collecting dust.

I've had a lovely time playing around during my gallery mod shift today, and came up with this:

Interesting challenge..I had to dig to find my cork (and I just re organized my stamping room!). Thanks Michelle! Here's my card:

Feeling Lucky

[Crafty Julia]

Love this challenge, thanks! I used gold chocolate bar foil for my trim- added some shine to my card - my tulip image comes from SU's Basket of Blossoms- and I added a script style sentiment. Here's Gold Hello

[tessaduck]

I've no cork, so I chose another non-traditional medium:

Thanks for the fun challenge, Michelle! Can't find my cork (big surprise! I'd actually be more surprised if I HAD found it) so I used a paint chip & aluminum foil for my different stuff. Here's my Paintchip & Tin Foil card. Thanks so much for looking!

[One4Joy]

oh, I found my cork...come have a look stay flexible.

[Crafty Julia]

I was inspired by Sabrina's canvas card- I used some white patterned fabric, and SU's Wild Things, along with SU's More Great Greetings for my bookmark's sentiment. Here's Airmail from Africa

I really wanted to try Holly's faux cork technique, but I guess that will have to wait for another day. I used some corkboard to make the flowers on my card. Thanks for a great challenge.
