Hello everyone!!! Today is Sunday and that means another Getting Creative with Ann challenge!!! This week the focus is on all those UNOPENED, had to have them, love em and you haven't used them since you bought/received them, embellishments!! And I'm not talking about the embellies you just bought yesterday! I want you to scrounge your stamp space and find those poor neglected embellishments and put them to good use!
The embellishments you choose could be some you have purchased or you may have received as a gift from someone!
My sample for you combines two challenges: the GCA and the Featured Stamper #77 on SCS. You can see Julia's card here, that I choose.
Here are the changes I made:
* Stamp set: Dreams du Jour by SU! - coming soon to the new catalog!!
* Instead of the slit punch for my scallop, I used the new SU! scallop edge punch. I then used my white Signo gel pen to put dots on each scallop.
* Used a choc. chip stitched (non SU!) ribbon.
* Instead of buttons, I used 1/2" circle tile spots with punch outs from the stamp for my embellishment.
* Left off the sentiment strip.
* Used 2 scallop circles under the main image for bordering. Main image is up on dimensionals and then the entire panel is up on dimensionals.
The two embellishments I used, which until today were unopened, are the ribbon and the tile spots. The ribbon I received from a secret sister exchange quite awhile ago and the tile spots I bought months ago, because I had to have them, and not used since then!!!
So take a minute and look around your stamp room and see what you can use that has, until today, been unopened and unused!! You know you have something, now is the time to get it out and put it on a fabulous creation!!!
Accessories: SU! markers, gel pen, tile spots, 1/2" circle, scallop circle and scallop edge punches, blender pen, non SU! brown stitched ribbon, dimensionals
