So today I was browsing all my favourite challenges, knowing I wanted to play a little, wondering what I wanted to do next. Once I saw the Created by Hand challenge...use the letter "X..."I was stumped. Then I visited June's Art Freebie site, and saw this precious wee image, and knew right away how I could use the "X!" I saved the image, then added the text labels in Photoshop. I printed it, distressed it, mounted it on an inked text background (to meet the Gingersnap Creations challenge...use a book page as a background...this one is one of my husband's old...very VERY old...university textbooks...ssshhh!). I used two Hero Arts stamps, embossing with gold and silver and edging the pink panel with Krylon 18Kt Gold Metallic Ink (to meet the Secret Crafters challenge, to use metal). To meet the Papertake Weekly challenge (say it with flowers), I used a paper flower, and to meet the Alphabet Challenge, I used chocolate and cream. The Wee Memories challenge is to use pink and embellishments, and the Pile it On challenge is to use pink and cream. So I managed to meet eight challenges with my happy room play today...what fun!
Thanks for stopping by today, sure do love it when you do! Watch later this week...blog candy coming, open to regular readers/followers...because I just LOVE it when you visit!
I wish you a happy, creative day, doing whatever you like best!
