Week 2 Sunny Challenges

Well Gwen, Vicky and I are really excited by the interest you have all shown in our new Sunny Challenges and Creations blog.  We are going to post the winner for the first week tomorrow, so don’t forget to check back and see which entry it will be.

Here is the sketch …..

…and the stampset you need to use this week is Friends 24-7.

And here is my creation.

I scored and folded Concord Crush card and added a layer of Whisper White which has been embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I attached a piece of Pear Pizzazz Designer Paper from the Hostess Designer Series paper Pack – Incolour to Pear Pizzazz card and attached it to the left hand side of the card.  I attached a piece of Peach Parfait Designer Paper from the same paper pack to Peach Parfait card and wrapped it with Concord Crush 1/2″ Stiched Poly Ribbon and tied a knot.  I attached it to the right hand side of the card using dimensionals.  I cut the largest Oval using the Ovals Originals Die from Whisper White card.  I stamped the floral image from the Friends 24-7 stampset onto the oval using Black Stazon ink.  I coloured the image using my Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait Stampin’ Write Markers.  I cut a strip of card 1 1/2cm wide from the length of an A4 piece of Concord Crush cardstock and punched one edge with the Scallop Trim Border punch.  I snipped along the other edge and then applied snail to the back of the oval and attached the punched card to create a frame for my image.  I attached the image panel to the card front using dimensionals.  I stamped “24-7”  onto Whisper White card using Peach Parfait ink, punched it out using the Small Oval Punch, added a Pear Pizzazz oval punched using the Large Oval punch and attached it to the Peach Parfait Designer Paper.

I hope you like the sketch for this week’s challenge because I am excited to say I actually designed it.  Being part of Sunny Challenges and Creations is just what I needed to help me push my boundaries and try lots of new things. I hope that I can inspire some of you to try something new in your papercrafting.

Ok so now off you go and create your masterpiece and then visit Sunny Challenges & Creations to add them to Mr. Linky.   If you need more inspiration check out Gwen and Vicky’s examples.  I cannot wait to see all your gorgeous creations this week.

Bye for now, Kris.
