Whoo Hoo!!!! I made it to the 3rd Round of Jen's (Miss Boo) CAS 2011 Summer Design Team Challenge. I am thrilled to be joining 7 other fabulous CAS stampers and great girls :-)
The challenge was to be inspired by sand toys from ToysRus. It was the bright colors and shapes that caught my attention.
I used Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Concord Crush and Wild Wasabi for my colors and circles and a heart button for my shapes. My biggest challenge......keeping it CAS :-)
I was pretty happy to be "Inspired" to use the "Inspire" stamp from the "Define Your Life" stamp set. After that everything fell into place. I stamped the Inspire 3 times using my stampamajig. The Wild Wasabi stem was EB with W. Wasabi EB powder and cut out with my trusty papersnips.
The heart button was a real find from my box of embellishment treasures. Who knows where or when I got that cute button!
Enjoy and Good Luck to us all. Jen and Denise, It has been WAY FUN playing your summer challenge. Again, thanks for all you do and for INSPIRING us all :-)
BTW, I used the "Create" stamp from the same set on the inside with a strip of the DP.
