Hey fellow Unity addicts! It was my week to issue the challnge and it appears I made it a bit hard, hehe. But I wanted evryone to be CHALLENGED and to have to think.
Since we are still in October, Breast Cancer Awareness month, I wanted to issue a HOPE challenge...
H: Use a sentiment having to do with HOPE
O: Put some ribbon ON your card
P: Use soemthing PINK
E: Embellish with something beginning with an M...so you will remember to get your MAMMOGRAM.
So here is what I ended up with...its a bit on the pastel side for me, but I am just furthur challenging myself, right? If you want to play along with us this week...head to the Unity forum at Splitcoast Stampers and check out the challenge thread and link up your creation there. also be sure to check out the blogs of my fellow Unity Junkies today....the list of links is -----> over there in my right hand side bar!
For my card...I used the word HOPE, lots of pink and ribbon and my M embellishment that I had to remember to add was metal...the silver label holder. There is also a ton of sparkle on the card but of course its hard to see! All images are from my all time favorite Unity set....Floral Fantastical!
Supplies: Stamps: Floral Fantastical (Unity) Paper: Petals & Paisleys PP, Cool Carribean, Whisper White (SU!) Ink: Palette Noir Accessories: Oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Styled silver Hodgepodge, label punch, ribbon (SU!); markers (Copic); Fruit Punch, Eucalyptus, Waterfall glitter (Stickles), Christmas sugar coated brads (Doddlebug); Prima flower Here's another Unity card for you ...this was actually the orignal inspiration for my challenge as I was working on it last week for the SCS color challenge. (I cheated a bit on the color combo though...it was supposed to be Kiwi Kiss...but I wanted to use one of the million carousel notes that I have lying around!) Thanks for hopping by my blog today! Have a happy Hump Day and see you at the HIP HOP tomorrow :) -Cyndi
