LSC76 - 2*2*2
 

This challenge was inspired by Tilly. It's called 2-2-2. I made some slight changes to it to make it more challenging for the limited supplies idea!

2 - Choose 2 stamp sets (big background stamps and wheels are considered one choice) If you are not using sets, limit yourself to just 2 stamps or wheels.

2 - Choose 2 colors of ink

2 - Choose 2 accessories. This includes all embellishments, watercolor wonder crayons, pastels, punches, or any specialized tools. If you have 2 colors or kinds of ribbon, you used up your 2 choices!

Cardstock - Use as much as you want. Even newbies generally have a lot of that because they come in multi-packs.

Please put LSC76 in the keyword box when you upload!

Yippee - am I first?!

You're first! I think most of the stalkers went to bed early.

This looks like an interesting challenge - and I do mean challenge. Just 2 stamps and two ink colors?! Ok, I'll try.

Sounds like fun but it will have to wait until morning. See you then.

Sounds like fun, Jen! To make sure I understand, we can use as many stamps in the set as we want but with only one other such as a background or wheel??

I'll get on it after bowling tomorrow Jen :)

sounds cool!! thanks, jen!

Yes! You got it!

But don't forget, special sentiments and alphas are also a set. You may want to choose a set that already has a sentiment in it so you can use a BG or wheel.

Slacker! J/K! LOL!

I think I found my Mojo again and am going to get on this right now. I need some cards to RAK my s/talker friends ;)

Sounds like another super fun challenge Jen, I just may have to sleep on it.

Wow!! So fun Jen (& Tilly)! This will be a fun challenge to combine with today's/the oval cutter too! (Ack only one ribbon or brad....hmmmmm)

Just got up to give lil one a bottle and I'm so happy to get to think about the challenge all night!

Would printed paper be considered an embellishment? Or is this a no no?

It's not an embellishment. :-D

Ooooo.. i stayed up for this one!!! Coffee is on, and I'm ready to stamp!

I don't remember the last time I did a challenge on the same day it was posted. Thanks Jen

Here is Mine

Here is my card. What a great challenge. I really enjoyed myself. Found it a little hard not to add more stuff and with what I was limited to get out and play with!

Pixie Thyme

Sounds like alot of fun. Can't wait to play with this, this weekend.

Jen
Thank you for the challenge. I am ready to to make some cards.

Yay! I love the limited supplies challenges because although I didn't realize it until I started doing these, I have limited supplies! This is one I can really get done! Thanks, Jen!

Wow, Jen, you are really gonna make me think on this one. You know I can easily use 3 or 4 backgrounds on one card! Thanks for a great challenge. Off to bed now.

I love an early challenge posting! Since I'm on the west coast, it means I get to play before bed. Of course it also means I'm tired when I make my card. I pulled out my two ink colors, then my paper and my sets. I made the card front and started stamping in white craft. I sort of forgot that white counts as an ink color! So in order to stick with the challenge rules, I mixed some white craft with ballet blue to get a lighter shade of blue as a second color of ink. Here's the card: http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...340297&cat=814

Been lurking on SCS for hours. Now, with this challenge posted, which is very cool Jen, I think I'll go to bed and dream of what I'll try! Thanks for the idea!

WHew! Got it done! I am going to be out all day tomorrow and had to play tonight! Glad I did, I like this one! In RL, you can see that the black paper is really crinkled up.

I'll be getting to this later today also. Thanks Jen!!

Well... the first card I did was a bust because my sewing maching (one of my embellishments) decided to eat my card.... AARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH...
anyway... i'm fine now... ha ha.

Here's my card. First time using crystal effects. i kinda like it!

LSC76, 2-2-2
 

At first, I thought this was going to be difficult, but I think it's just a matter of stopping!! What a fun, fun challenge Jen. Thanks!

2-2-2 Chickens

I guess you can't stamp this week. Sorry!

LOL! :lol:

Do embossing powder and heat gun count as two or (oh paleeesssee!) one embellishment?

Well I didn't know it at the time, but I've made a card for this challenge! :) Thanks to PenelopePitstop for pointing it out to me! My card is here:

Fun challenge - I had to keep myself from breaking the rules several times...

Oh darn! As soon as I uploaded this I realized that I used punches and that would be an accessory....right? Oh boy......sorry! (I also only though I could use 2 paper colors, so maybe that makes up for it)
Here it is anyway....Thanks for looking!

Amethyst Overload

OOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I want to play!!!!! (but have to help DS make a card for his little friend....don't think that I'm going to get to play myself). I will try to see what lovely creations you all come up with!!

It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, the limited ink was the toughest.

Pumpkin Petals

ooooh fun!! can't wait to do this one, jen!!! thanks for coming up with great challenges!

So, I can go nuts on patterned paper, and different colors of paper, but can only use 2 inks...
but as an accessory I can use colored pencils or watercolor crayons? But I have to count that as 1 of my embellishments. So can I use as many of the colors in those pre-packaged sets as I want?

Here are mine that I pulled from my gallery...maybe I'll get a chance to make a new project today...but in case I don't...here are oldies but goodies!

Since you can't use EP without the other, I personally think it should count as one. :-D

Yes. The crayons or pencils are one accessory, but you can use as many as you want! :-D

don't want to beat a dead horse here...but would an aquapainter or a blender pen be the second accessory?
When I think of "two accessories" I think of the back of the catalog, and pick 2 items from there, excluding adhesive.

This one about got the best of me...every time I wanted to grab for another accessory or ink, I had to slap my hand :) Thanks for the great challenge!

THIS WAS HARD!! I forget how to make a simple card! Geesh! I was planning to use brads until I realized I'd already used markers to color, and I'd need a hole punch too so that would make 3 accessories. I had to improvise and use markers to color brads onto the hardware piece and the slit punch. Challenging challenge, Jen!
