I managed to do a few more dirty dares Saturday in between loads of laundry and other chores. I'm getting ready to head to San Diego to visit friends for a couple of days, so I had a lot to get done before I left. Of course, I still made time for stamping, because I love challenges! The first project is a genie bag, named for Jen Del Muro (her screen name is genie1314 at SCS). The idea is to cover the front and back sides of a cut-down lunch bag to make a pretty package. And that was the challenge by AtomicButterfly - make a pretty container. I used pumpkin pie, chocolate chip, really rust and creamy caramel cardstock and ink, along with some gold ink on the chocolate chip. I stamped leaves from Fantastic Foliage on the bottom, on the chocolate chip piece and on the vanilla for the main image. Ribbon is from Michaels. I also used a bunch of really rust eyelets and one caramel eyelet. Usually these have a handle, but I thought the handle with throw off the layout.
This was BadSherry's challenge, to use wet watercolor and cracked glass. There's a lengthy explanation in my SCS gallery, but the gist is: perfect plum, pale plum, taken with teal, sage shadow and basic brown ink, the same for cardstock, except watercolor paper and no brown cardstock. I misted the paper, stamped the images, let them dry, then added several coats of clear EP, froze and cracked it, then sponged plum ink in the cracks. I finished it with photo corners made from my Marvy Giga square scallop punch, a piece of hodgepodge hardware and a little organdy ribbon.
The final card was a challenge from Jenn Balcer to use bold brights. I used the BB greens and only orange, along with BB eyelets, dots and dashes (retired) patterned paper and some Michael's orange ribbon. This was a fast and fun card.
