For today's Demo Challenge - a "List" challenge. I enjoy putting these challenges together as it can really challenge a Demo to get back to basics and remember what it was like to be a "first time" or beginner stamper. So today's "List" was:
a) You must only use 3 colours - no neutrals - and they must be either the reitiring In-Colour Range (from Australia/NZ) or the current In-Color for everyone else
b) You must 1 DSP - either one side or both sides - and it must be either retiring from the main catalogue, not in a mini as that may make it to the new catty (from Australia/NZ) or a DSP that has appeared for the first time in the current catalogue if you live anywhere else
c) You must only use 1 stamp set - including sentiments, if the set has them - and the set you use must either be a retiring set, but not a retiring Hostess Set (from Australia/NZ) or a set that has appeared for the first time in the current catalogue, if you live anywhere else
d) No punches, no speciality tools - acceptable "tools" are bone folder, snail, SAMJ
e) No colouring - so no blender pens, aqua painters, Stampin' Pastels, Pencils - just ink up your stamps and put 'em down ladies!!!!!
f) No accessories - no ribbon, no brads, no buttons
g) Make 3 different cards from one sheet of cardstock for your base using these guidelines
OPTIONAL: Use "faux" anything, providing it falls within the above guidelines
I didn't use the "optional" extra. Instead of colouring, I used the "rock 'n roll" technique. I love this technique because all you need are a couple of colours of ink pad and a stamp. It's very easy and very effective.
The set I chose to use is one of my fave's and I can't believe it's being retired here - it was one of the first sets I bought when the new catty came out. I'm very disappointed!!!!!
OK, so I would love to know what you think about these little cards.

Beautiful, Cav! I don't have this set, but you've done a great job with it.
But, hey, you have SAMJ listed! Are you cheating on your own challenge!?!?!? ;)
