This card is for the VSN challenge hosted by Jacqueline aka jacqueline it is a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge and is in keeping with the overall theme of the VSN âeoeRock Starâe
For this challenge I used Jacqueline's grid and went straight down the centre which was âeoeGlitter, Groups of Three or More, Starsâe I think I nailed it lol.
This card only took 50 minutes mainly because I used techniques I'm very familiar with. I first embossed the card with the stars then I swiped the stars with Champagne Mist ink.
While that was drying I punch the two smaller stars then checked to make sure the greeting would fit into the larger star.. all good so I went ahead and stamped the greeting and heat embossed with silver.
I cut the large star out with the greeting in the centre and then cut two more of the larger star. I sandwiched the three large stars together and then glued it to the centre of the card after sponging some silver ink around it, oh but before I did that, I put all the panels together.
Finally, I glued the small stars on added some silver stickles and then dusted that with silver glitter and that's it.
VSN is a challenge run three or four times a year and is held over two days Friday and Saturday USA ET or Saturday and Sunday EST Australia, with often a mini VSN a few weeks' earlier just so you can get into the swing of things. You have an hour to make each card with a challenge going up every hour.
I love to try and do my challenges live but sometimes life gets in the way and so everyone just must have their cards uploaded within a week of the challenge. It is an honour system that you only take an hour to make your card and that is part of the challenge, it is amazing how it hones your creativity.
Anyone can join in the fun and this VSN is from 5th and 6th July or 6th and 7th if you're in Australia with final uploads on the 15th July. We have many of our SCS members provide inspiration for an amazing weekend.
