My Own Take on My Own Challenge
Aloha, all!
Today I was a host of a "Chat and Challenge" on SUDSOL (a group for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators). OK–the Saturday after Thanksgiving, everyone’s stuffed and sick of shopping, right? Wrong! We just had a small group. But what fun we had with my sketch! It’s a bit different from the sketches I usually make or use. But I just felt as if I had to do something a bit different.

Here’s the Challenge Sketch. I’d been looking at some pinwheel cards, and this just popped into my mind. Of course I made the sketch using My Digital Studio. I didn’t have to waste a scrap of paper in the making of it!!
And here’s my own take on it as a greeting card. I’m definitely back into my Green and Red phase of Christmas Cards. But what struck me most was, as I looked at the photo I’d taken of my card, that I realized it looked just like a CD or DVD. Now I have this idea in my head that I’m going to use a disk as the background for a card. Hope I can get it out of my system before I ruin too many blank CDs!!
I used the stamp set, Four the Holidays, just inking up the word "Merry" in "Merry Christmas" in Versamark then applying Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossing it on each rectangle. The background papers are all from the Designer Series Paper set, Merry Moments.
The center piece is a Very Vanilla Jumbo Grommet, with Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon.
I made the circle of Designer Series Paper, with the Garden Green mat behind it, with the Circle Scissors Plus. I’m really starting to get the hang of the Circle Scissors! In another couple of months I’m going to be an expert and ready to start teaching others how to use it!!! One of the problems I have here in East Hawaii is that paper is so often just so saturated with moisture that it’s hard to get a good clean cut. So I try to find the time of day when things seem driest to go playing with it. Had a good stretch of dry time when I made this!
Why don’t you try this sketch out for yourself! I’ll send off some Designer Series Paper samples (four 4" x 5-1/4" pieces) to anyone who e-mails me a link to a card they’ve made with this layout! Deadline for this "offer" is Saturday, December 5th. Have fun!!!
