Great challenge today, resulting in my best attempt so far at faux denim, even if you can't see much of it . I was able to work the challenge in with a card I want to send a friend. By an odd coincidence, I'd just been reading this feature on denim during the week, so when I read Michelle's challenge title I wondered had I missed that it was some anniversary of denim!
A2 base. I used some blue card along with Faded Jeans and Broken China distress inks and Bazzinks Typhoon and Admiral to create my denim layer. Then I stamped it with a Hero Arts Paisley stamp in white, and edged it with a dark blue marker.
Panel is Spellbinders Labels 8. All papers are scraps, the blue sky is Provocraft Heritage. Cloud embossed with Swiss Dots. Rainbow and leaves are from MFT, sentiment is a Spellbinders Fancy Tag. I added some teardrop gems.

I love your card... Bright and cheery, and looks like denim.
Thanks for the link to the article. That was a fun read. I love the part about the guy who wore a pair of jeans everyday for 3years and wanted to know why they were falling apart... LOL
