This card is for the VSN challenge hosted by Misti aka Scraperwannabe. Misti has asked us to use or depict something sharp for her challenge and is in keeping with the overall theme of the VSN âeoeRock Starâe
This card was super-fast. As soon as I read Misti's challenge this Penny Black by Margaret Sherry image popped into my mind, mainly because Misti loves cute House Mouse images and uses them a lot. I don't have House Mouse but I have a lot of these little meaces lol. These two are so proud they have cut out a snowflake with those sharp scissors.
I stamped the image with StazOn Jet black onto some watercolour paper scribbled some SU markers onto a gloss house tile, picked the ink up with a wet watercolour mop brush and coloured the images.
I mounted the image onto some silver mirror card then mounted that onto some craft foam.
I rummaged around in my Christmas DP draw and found this lushes snowflake paper, I attached this to an Elegant Eggplant base then attached the matted image offsetting it slightly and there you have it.
VSN is a challenge run three or four times a year and is held over two days Friday and Saturday USA ET or Saturday and Sunday EST Australia, with often a mini VSN a few weeks' earlier just so you can get into the swing of things. You have an hour to make each card with a challenge going up every hour.
I love to try and do my challenges live but sometimes life gets in the way and so everyone just must have their cards uploaded within a week of the challenge. It is an honour system that you only take an hour to make your card and that is part of the challenge, it is amazing how it hones your creativity.
Anyone can join in the fun and this VSN is from 5th and 6th July or 6th and 7th if you're in Australia with final uploads on the 15th July. We have many of our SCS members provide inspiration for an amazing weekend.
