Good Monday Makeover Morning! I am still cleaning up my work area and came upon this unused kit from a couple of years ago! Here is a photo of my card back then. You can go to that post by clicking on the photo. You'll find the product used and more details when you do that.
Since it's the 5th Monday of the month, Thing 1: Trouble Maker at Double Trouble #53 has her Free-for-All Challenge to have a little fun creating with "Some Thing, Any Thing and Every Thing". I don't know if Thing 3: Twisted Sister will let me get away with this, but I'll try. She wants the background to be created with scraps and/or small pieces of patterned paper or washi tape...not sure if my patterned paper is small enough. Thing 2: Double Trouble has a "double dare" to link with a previous partner. So, I have chosen to use the design sketch #450 from Try Stampin' On Tuesday.
The trouble with posting old, leftover kits is that nothing is current usually. But, they are great for recreating a new card design. Here is what I did with it using retired Fresh Fig card stock that was in the kit.

I didn't cut the retired DSP into strips today. I just left it whole for the front AND the inside. I dug out some retired Tutti-Fruitti Adhesive Sequins and placed 8 of them on the card.
I wrapped the piece of ribbon around the DSP instead of bannerizing (a "Maryism") it. Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge 2013 has a theme for their 5th Monday of the month challenge and it just happens to be to use ribbon!
Here's a look at the inside...
The sentiment from Sending Thoughts (Sale-A-Bration stamp) is stamped in Rich Razzleberry on an Everyday Label punched tag that was hanging on my desk as well. I sponged the edges with ink. I intend to write a separate note in this one so I didn't feel the need to have any more white than that.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
Fun designs! Great way to use up that pretty designer paper too. :)

ReplyDeleteSo fun, Karen - what great ways to use some gorgeous DSP! Love your colors, purple is the BEST, lol. Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
ReplyDeleteLove the selection of coordinating papers that you used - simply gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
ReplyDeleteKaren - quite creative in meeting the requirements of both Double Trouble AND TSOT!!! Your background is definitely "handmade" using an embossing machine, and you turned the TSOT sketch on it's head! Thank you for joining both challenges this week, Karen, and showing us your creativity!!! -Donna
