For Carole's Olympic VSN Mini Challenge, the slalom course! We were to incorporate an S or S-shape on our card, use the kissing technique, and have white as our only neutral. I don't have alot of solid stamps for "kissing", so I painted these chipboard letters with white crackle paint, and while they were wet, I kissed a retired SU plaid background on the top! My snowflake is from Waltzingmouse Stamps and is clear embossed on Ocean Tides paper. This card is pretty big which caused me fits...probably why I don't scrapbook! It's HARD to use such big spaces of paper and make them still look good, hee! And Carole...I was breaking out into hives because I couldn't use kraft, eeeeek!

I think you did a great job. Very creative with the kissing technique (I had trouble with that part, wish I'd thought of what you did).
