I've been trying to do different card challenges a couple of times a week and decided that Stamp TV had some great ones. This card was made for Potluck Friday-Let's go digital! STVPF19 It is a two part challenge. The first was to use digital paper, which I did. The background paper is FREE from stamp tv and is called Summer Fabrics! I had a friend print it off (my printer doesn't like anything thicker than really THIN paper, its cheap and nasty!) and then I brayered it with an old in colour groovy guava. I had to make sure that I was using the right stamp pad a couple of times because it sure doesn't look like guava! The light patterned paper is also a FREEBIE from Stamp TV and is from the Peachy Keen paper pack. I ran it through the crimper and added black brads. I used the stamp set from Stampin up Embrace Life and the saying is from a new set available July 1 called teeny tiny wishes. The background idea is from Michelle Zindorf and her wonderful tutorials. The second part of the challenge was to do a different sized card. Normally I do a 10.8cm x 14cm (4.25" x 5.5") or an A2 card. This card is 13.7 x 13.7 (just under 5.5" square) It was definitely challenging. Stamp TV has an awesome site with tutorials, challenges but also Freebies! The website is http://stamptv.ning.com/ take a look and have some fun!
