Inspire.Create. STAMPING CHALLENGES Challenge#220 Single Layer Card

 Hello and welcome to the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. Today we have been set a colour challenge. For this challenge we have to create a card using a single layer.

For my card I have used Stampin' Up!'s card and die bundle 'Ouch'. I fun get well set.

 

I always find it difficult to resist adding dimension to my projects, so I challenged myself to create the illusion of depth instead. To achieve this, I stamped my Band-Aid images onto copy paper, carefully hand-cut them, and used them as masks while stamping the remaining images. This masking technique creates the impression that the Band-Aids have been casually tipped out of their packet, naturally overlapping one another.

I have to admit, though—I broke the challenge rules just a little! Instead of stamping directly onto the card base, I stamped the design on a Basic White card front and then layered it onto a Lemon Lime Twist card base. Maybe it's bending the rules rather than breaking them, but the Basic White layer gives the design a beautiful frame which coordinates with the colourful Band-Aids. I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today and feel inspired to join in the challenge!

You can find even more inspiration from our talented design team over on the Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges website.

We’d absolutely love to see your creations—be sure to submit your projects here by 10am Sunday (UK time).

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #020

Hello and welcome. You are currently visiting Karen Farquhar from Australia for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges. For challenge #20 we have a sketch challenge. I love sketch challenges as half the creating is done for you.

I have been like a kid with not just one new toy but a box full this week. Not any box full but a big brown box full of Stampin' Up! happiness. My order from the new annual catalogue has arrived and I have been playing.

I was so pleased to see a new elephant punch with a coordinating  stamp set. The Bundle is called Little Elephant. I probably should have said that the other way around. The stamp set is gorgeous but an elephant punch is something I have wanted for a long time.

Using different colour ways I have created two baby card designs using the same sketch design. The designer series paper is called Twinkle Twinkle and it coordinates with the Little Twinkle Bundle which includes another new punch Twinkle Builder. Below this post I have included thumbnails of all my supplies for you to see.

Here below a few more elephant baby cards. The balloons are from the Blow Out The Candles Bundle. I did say I was playing with my new toys.

Plus the elephant punch has two sized elephants. So you can have a Mummy and baby or Daddy and baby elephant.

I so love the new In Colors and had to stamp out the little elephants to make some quick gift cards.

 Please, you are more than welcome to enter your projects for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges here and visit to see projects other talented stampers have created.
