APR08VSNJ - Sat 2 pm - FAVORITE BLUE JEANS - Chat thread
Title: �Favorite Blue Jeans�
Hostess: arinstamps (Arin)
Keyword: APR08VSNJ
Day/Date: Sat 4/5
Time: 2 pm EDT/ 11 am PDT
Her favorite dress is her faded blue jeans
Yea, a pickup truck is her limousine
And her favorite dress is her faded blue jeans
She loves me tender when the goin' gets tough
Somtimes we fight just so we can make up
Lord I need that little woman
Like the crops need the rain
She's my honeycomb and I'm her sugar cane
We really fit together
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
from "Two of a Kind, Workin' On a Full House" by Garth Brooks
At my stage in life, fashion is not a priority. I'm beyond a full house: my hand has two of a kind and four of a kind (though I don't know what kind of poker I'd be playing!) My favorite dress is absolutely blue jeans!
So, my challenge is to create a monochromatic blue card! (Use only blue shades and neutrals.)
Bonus points for adding texture:
either the appearance of texture (ie. with a stamp like linen or sanded,) or real texture (ie. with embossing or texture-rich embellies like felt or ribbon.)
Make sure to tell me in your description how you added texture.
The first sample is mine and the second is by Denise (resqbarbie), third is by (Michelle) eliotstamps:

See all the cards for this challenge HERE!
*** ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 11:00 PM EST ON SUNDAY, APRIL 6th ***

*You have 45 minutes to complete this challenge.

Great challenge Arin. I looked in my closet and all my clothes are Black, shades of Blue or Red. I think I need to try some other colors but for your challenge I'll stick with shades of blue.

I'm the same way with green. I'd buy everything green if I didn't stop myself! __________________

If you caught a glimpse of the other challenge, consider it a sneak peek of the 9 p.m. challenge! Sorry about that.

Your sample rocks Denise! You are doing a fab job, you know. You're allowed to slip up once or twice. VSN takes a lot of coordinating!!!

Well, I THOUGHT I was going to upload - I started to upload as a thumbnail - I will upload later when the gallery might not be quite so busy.

I'd live in blue jeans if my work would allow it! I loved this challenge, cause I am all about monochromatic. I used my Cuttlebug to add texture to the card.
Here it is: APR08VSNJ - Favorite Blue Jeans by jillmacd at Splitcoaststampers |
