Holy smokes! Not only am I posting two #tgifchallenges in a row, I actually posted a project yesterday too, for the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! (You should check it out, it's seriously CUTE!!!!)
So, I will say that I was definitely challenged with this sketch!!! I peeked at the other cards my other Design Team members created and I was feeling a little intimidated, they're pretty awesome. I almost chickened out, then I decided to stick it out. I also added my own little challenge to use at least one new color I hadn't used yet!
I also challenged myself to use a stamp set that I hadn't used yet. I fell in love with this Varied Vases set right away, so it was excited to use it. It's an awesome set on it's own, but did you know you can get it in a bundle with a coordinating punch - and if you do that, you save 10%...can't beat that! Check it out -
It's so BRIGHT and FUN!!! Originally I was going to use some colors from our Subtles collection, then I spotted my FAVE color (Coastal Cabana), and decided to work off of that! This card was pretty easy, thanks to the great 2-step style photopolymer stamp set! Want to see a little trick I used to make sure that I stamped the scallop image straight and where I wanted it?
I usually grab a piece of retired Washi Tape, but this happened to be on my desk...I use the lines in the grid paper to make sure that my tape is straight, then I just use that as a guide. I don't push it down very hard, so it comes right back up!
Just to make things a little easier for you, here is a list of supplies that I used for this card. I am so grateful when you choose me as your Demonstrator.
