The Four Seasons Challenge #1

Hello Crafty Friends!  I'm excited to tell you about a new challenge starting today!  It's the Four Seasons Challenge and I'm happy to be part of the Design Team!  Here's information regarding this fun, new challenge:

  • Challenges are MONTHLY - 1st through the 25th at 12:00 AM (EST).  Winner's announced on the 28th of each month.
  • Theme:   Anything Goes for the Season we are in ... i.e.
    Anything Winter - December, January & February
    Anything Spring - March, April & May
    Anything Summer - June, July & August
    Anything Fall - September, October & November
  • Feel free to enter other challenges.
  • Unlimited Entries and Any Type of Project
  • September Inspiration Board - Use only for Inspiration:

Now, for my design team project.  The Theme is Fall/Autumn and I've created an A2 sized card using the Layered Leaf Prints Stamp Set from Gina K. Designs.


This stamp set is a layering set and I've used the final leaf layer to stamp leaves along the edge using Catherine Pooler Inks.  I chose colors I felt best represented Autumn but also added vivid color to my design.  The card base is 110 lb. Neenah Kraft Card.


I stamped the sentiment, from the same stamp set, using Icing on the Cake Catherine Pooler brown ink as I didn't want a deep black sentiment on the card.  To finish off, I wrapped Baker's Twine and adhered gold gems from Kat Scrappiness for bling.

I invite you to join us and play along.  We're excited for this new challenge and we're confident you're going to love it too!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
