Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday! There's a new challenge in Blogland and it's The Pick 3 Challenge. The premise of the challenge is to pick at least 3 elements out of the 6 given and create using them. Challenge are monthly, always starting on the 20th of the month. Today is the 1st challenge and the element board contains some fun ideas:
For my team project, I've used Fun Fold, Stencil and Layers for my elements to create a Valentine's card for dear hubby. The stencil is "Swirling Hearts" from Creative Expressions, the fun fold is the Double Gatefold and I've followed instructions by Eva Deitz, and the layers are from patterned paper panels, a layered sentiment and card folds.
To make the card a bit more masculine, I went with a black, white and red color palette. I've inked around the stenciled panel with Black Soot Distress Ink and the patterned papers are snippets from a Carta Bella pad.
The team and I hope you'll pop over to the Pick 3 Challenge and join us. You have a month to join in, and you can enter 6 original designs. Any craft is welcome, as long as it contains at least 3 of the 6 elements provided. We hope to see you there!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

What an interesting fold! Great card, thanks for sharing it with us at Allsorts challenge.
ReplyDeleteSuch a striking project for the debut of the challenge. The double gatefold shows off the patterned papers beautifully, and the stenciled hearts look so crisp against the bold palette. The vellum shadow on the sentiment is a perfect touch and keeps everything balanced. A wonderful mix of elements for Pick 3 and a great inspiration piece for the new challenge.
