I started with the goal of doing at least one Dare to Get Dirty card for Covington Crafter's challenge, my Favorites teammate, and I branched out to fit several other challenges while looking for possible inspiration. My little girl digital image was a walk down nostalgia lane in that I decided to color her with the coloring medium I used when I first learned to color and shade...my wax woodless-coloring pencils and mineral spirits used to set the color.
3. DD9ABC16P - Alphabet Challenge, Letter P = Persimmon Orange and Pumpkin Orange - 6/6/18. Bonus is positive & negative. My positive space is the little girl, fall-colored image panel popped up, and my negative space is the abstract fall-colored background dsp that enhances the colors used in my positive image. (I'm hoping I understand what the bonus is).
4. FS601 - Featured Stamper: NerdyBeth - 8/12/18. Looking for layout ideas and the subject for my card, I used Beth's "Amelia's Notions" here: Amelia's notions by NerdyBeth at Splitcoaststampers. It gave me an idea for using a little girl image and popping it up on a panel. I switched my band to a vertical zigzag instead of horizontal and and added my buttons to the zigzag instead of placing them in a corner. Thanks Beth for the great idea...I loved browsing your gallery for ideas.
5. WT698 - Ways to Use It - 7/26/18: It's Hot & Sticky Out There! Pop up your image and/or sentiment. I also thought fall for coolness!
6. USEIT2018 - annual ongoing. Using materials and tools that are gathering dust. Almost everything on my card has been in my stash for over five years! YIKES!
