Hello TLC fans~
Today we are stamping borders! Find a stamp you love and repeat it to make a border around your main image. All the way around, not just across. Easy peasy!

This is my second attempt at this card - Had the border ALMOST completed on the first one when I bobbled the stamp and ended up with 6 blurred images rolled across the center of my card - No way to hide it OR cover it up - 2nd attempt - not perfect but close enough for today!
Great challenge! I'll have to play in a couple of days. I'm unable to summon the energy tonight after working for 10 hours today. You all are coming up with some awesome borders!

I recently received a phone call from my oldest friend from 3rd grade. This fun and easy challenge supplied me with the card I needed to make quickly today because my caller ID failed me. Thank goodness I still have her address!
A day 'after the fact', but I did "start" this one yesterday! LOL My creativity flows better in the afternoon most times ... but then, kitchens & food, etc. require similar timing here. Many times I have to "start", pause, & "return to stampy action" the following day. Ha
I was thinking about using my Bubble Queen stamp for the Alphabet Challenge letter Q, since it is the only Q I have in my stamp sets. I could have done a quilt or something, but it was also supposed to be quick. (If you have ever made a quilt card, with all of those little pieces, you know it is not quick.) So when I saw this weeks technique challenge I went looking for an image that would coordinate with my Bubble Queen stamp. I found the circle images from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar set and it was perfect! It was easy to overlap so that the image looked more continuous, however when done it looks more like a background than a border, but it is really only around the edges�lol.
Thanks Jeanne for this challenge!! I did it a little different and used the Retiform technique with a background stamp for the border (but it broke it up and I sporadically stamped it)- hope this was OK :-)
