Once a month the SCS Dirty Dozen and Dirty Dozen Alumni get together and do a challenge. HereÂ’s the rules for this month:
Challenge Focus: Use one of the oldest stamp sets you own along with embellishments and supplies youÂ’ve had for what seems like forever.
Required Element: RAK - you must mail your card out as a RAK on 3/20 to any DD/DDA - could be a birthday, get well, thinking of you, invite to come play with us, congratulations or just totally random no particular reason RAK. You do not need to tell us who you mailed your card to. For all addresses see the SMAK the DD thread.
Restricted Element: No stamps, tools, or supplies purchased or obtained within the last 6 months. WeÂ’re on the honor system here girls, so use your judgement to keep within the spirit of the challenge.
Bonus Challenge: Use a technique or style you havenÂ’t used in a long time, but was a favorite at some point in your stamping past.

Great idea to stamp the linen background over the completed image - I have used it only as a background before starting with the main image up to now! Thanks for the inspiration!
