Here are the first challenges that I've finished up so far...
The introduction challenge is Challenge ZERO - POKER FACE. We had to create a card with the envelope taking center stage and the sentiment on the inside card hidden from view. The card also was required to contain a stamp image, a ribbon and the color black.
I used Core'dinations cardstock (Tim Holtz Kraft), Glitz Designs pp, Technique Tuesday script stamp, May Arts ribbon and trim, SEI pearl brad and MME decorative brad, Kaiser black gems, Cuttlebug emboss folders, Glimmer Mist, Papertrey Ink twine, paper lace doily and the Damask Decor and Lacey Labels Cricut carts. Here are details of the front and back inside pull out tag-card ...
Next up is the Week One - Challege One (Phase 10).
For this one we were given 3 different phases to complete.
First phase was to create the BASE of the card using these 4 elements:
-1 patterned background
-1 block of patterned paper or cardstock
-1 strip of paper or trim
-1 decorative edge
I used BoBunny double-dot patterned cardstock for my background, a block of MME patterned paper, American Crafts ribbon rose trim, and a MME decorative edge punch-out.
The second phase was to then EMBELLISH the card from phase 1, using any embellies I have to create the best handby the end of the game. Then onto the 3rd and final phase we are to UPLOAD the picture of our card to the appropriate thread and Nook blog post. My final phase looks like this...
I embellished with a MME transparent flourish and 3-D sticker, a Prima chipboard journal tag, a K&Co. journal tag, plastic rosettes from Making Memories and a handwritten sentiment.
I have not yet completed the 2nd challenge of the week which is SOLATAIRE, but I will finish and post it later.
The 3rd challenge for the first week is the UNO Challenge. For this one we needed to create a card where the #1 is somehow incorporated into the card's design!
I dug out some BoBunny Blast Off collection for this one...
To create the #1 on the Canvas Corp. star, I used some Thickers as a mask and sprayed the canvas star with Sapphire Glimmer Mist! Love the result!
So there ya have it so far! I'll be back later in the week with other challenges I've been working on. It's been so much fun swimming with the sharks this weekend!
