This week, Clare is our creative host and she has chosen the theme of 'Get Creative'! Clare asks that we all design a card or project using just stamping - NO PATTERNED PAPERS ALLOWED THIS WEEK - and your own, handmade embellishment(s)!
The main idea of this challenge is to get creative with your basic supplies (i.e. cardstock, ink, stamps). For this challenge, you can consider such things like ribbon, lace, buttons and brads - basic supplies. Hand make what you can, for example - make your background paper by repeating stamping to make a pattern, or use an embossing folder to create some pattern. Hand make a paper flower as an embellishment. Use your dies and punches to make embellishments, etc. -- do not to use anything manufactured that you can attempt to hand make and 'Get Creative'!
We have such amazing and talented paper artists that participate weekly here in the Tea Room, so the idea was to stretch people a little bit, push you all outside your comfort zones and try something NEW and FUN!
Are you up for the challenge this week? Well, what are you waiting for ... run to the craft space and 'Get Creating!!!
Note: Because we are sponsored weekly by wonderful businesses who have graciously donated products and in the interest of fairness to all participants, any entries that do not follow our simple guidelines (listed on the sidebar) will not be eligible for the weekly prizes. Thanks for understanding and playing along!
