Each month on the 20th the Dirty Girls issue a challenge amongst themselves. I LOVED the challenge this month, but I never got to play on time, so here’s my challenge card, 4 or 5 days late!!! Oh well, it was fun and I really wanted to do it!!! What we had to do was take one of the very first cards we ever uploaded to SCS and re-make it, showing both cards — HOW FUN!!! Here's my very first upload to SCS back in April 2006:
I kept the neutral color scheme, the names across the bottom, one single image focal point. I changed my ribbon treatment a bit and added more embellishments — pearls, a stick pin and scallops. My original card was 5.5 inches square and my new card is 5.25 inches x 7.5 inches.
Stamps: JustRite Trompe Script Uppercase Font, Trompe Script Lowercase Font, used on the Harmony Rectangle Stamper; SU Friends 24-7
Paper: SU Very Vanilla, Kraft, Bella Bleu DP
Ink: Versa Fine Vintage Sepia, Versa Mark
Accessories: By SU: Vanilla EP, Pretties Kit, Chocolate Taffeta Ribbon. Sheer ribbon by May Arts, Martha Stewart Scallop Punch, Labels I Nestabilities by Spellbinders, Kaiser Pearls, Glue Glider, Mounting Squares.
Thanks for looking!
