This is a little different take on todays SCS Challenge - the challenge was to make a criss cross card - I made a criss-cross pocket for this one and mounted it on a 4.25"x5.5" piece of cardstock.
-
I basically used scraps for this.... some printed paper, cool carribean, chocolate chip and ruby red. I love how the chipboard turned out.... I painted it with turquoise blue acrylic paint, then sanded and sponged with brown ink - it has a really distressed, vintage look to it! The inside card is layered with cut-outs from the designer paper along the top and bottom, with a blank space in the middle for greeting. The little tab at the top was done with the tab punch from the spring mini.

This one isn't up to my usual creativity, but after a weekend away I'm feeling a little tired tonight!!

You pick the CHALLENGE....
Help me decide what to focus on for the next week or so.
1. "Watercolor my World" - a whole week of watercolored creations.
2. "Don't Card Me" - no cards this week, only other "stuff"
3. "Jewelry Junk" - I have to dig into my jewelry and beading stash for something on every project
4. "Flower Free" - a week on not touching a flower stamp.... can I actually do it?!?!?

Leave one of these choices in your comment and we'll see what I work on!
