LSC209 - Designer Series Paper (02/27/09)

LSC209 � Designer Series Paper

Before you get excited/frustrated �cause you have lots/don�t have any patterned or designer paper, WAIT!! This is NOT what you think . . . exactly . . .

What this week�s challenge entails making your very OWN patterned/designer paper. I get comments on my cards all the time where someone will say �Great DSP!� Funny thing is, I have usually made it myself! Here are the rules:

Using only ONE stamp set for your entire creation (yup, you read that right, just ONE), make a card that features patterned paper you make yourself using the images from the stamp set you select. Don�t worry, you can still stamp something as a focal point, I�d just like you to use your hand-stamped patterned paper somewhere on the card.

Any sentiments you incorporate must also come from the same ONE stamp set.

As far as punches/Nestabilties, diecuts, etc., you may only use these IF you are going to use them as part of your sentiment ONLY! Do not frame/mount any images using punches/diecuts, etc. You CAN, however, handcut any images you want!!

And if that weren�t enough, the only embellishments you can use are ribbon and brads. Also, NO Cuttlebugging or texture plates. We want to see your lovely patterned paper!!!

How�s that for limited?? I just want to give y�all an opportunity to go back to the basics . . . paper, stamps and ink!! Have fun!!

Amelia (Wendybell�sGirl) has been SOOO busy with dance practices/performances this week, that she didn�t have any time to make a sample, but says �Hi!� to all of you!! Here are my samples:

Now that sounds good fun. Glad you said stamp set and not stamp, LOL, which was what I first read. DH is hoping I'll go to the motorbike show with him after work, but I hope I'll get to play later on this evening. Thanks for such an inspiring challenge.

Ok, I decided to do a quick card that I knew I could do in 15 minutes. Today is my grocery shopping day so I can't really play like I want to. It's a fall card, but it works for me. Hope you like it.
