More SplitCoastStampers Challenges

I went a little scrap happy this morning! Over at SplitCoastStampers {SCS} there was another challenge to make a card with just ONE layer. That first layer had to start out as plain white card stock.

HERE are the THREE cards I made under those restraints:
STUFF I USED FOR THIS CARD:
STAMPS: SU Dear Friends
INK: SU Basic Black
PAPER: White Card stock
ACCESSORIES: Ribbon, ZIG twin color markers


STUFF I USED FOR THIS CARD:
STAMPS: {Verve} Up, Up & Away
INK: SU Basic Black
PAPER: ehansen - Flight of Fancy
ACCESSORIES: digi kit, paper piercer {where the stitching is around border}


STUFF I USED FOR THIS CARD:
STAMPS: {Unity} Sep. '08 KOM
INK: SU Tempting Turquoise, Pigment Ink Brown
PAPER: White Card stock
ACCESSORIES: Label 2 Nestabilities, Ribbon

Another challenge on the SCS was to use a Clean & Simple {CAS} color challenge. The color challenge was to use Kraft/Pink/a coordinate. My coordinate was brown. Instead of making a card, I embellished a notebook I picked up at the $ Tree for $1. The binding area is a strip of brown while the covers are Kraft! TOO easy. I just added pink!
STUFF I USED FOR THIS CARD:
STAMPS: Martha Stewart Glitter Starter Kit Stamps, {Unity} Sep. 'o8 & May '09 KOM, {Verve} Beautiful Kindness
INK: SU Rose Passion, SU Real Red, SU Pixie Pink, Pigment Ink Brown
PAPER: NONE
ACCESSORIES: $1 notebook


The last challenge I will share with you was a real butt kicker. I tried to do this one yesterday. The challenge was to use acetate {transparency paper} and print on it with a computer printer. The image is supposed to be black and white and then you flip the image over and color the back with markers. First of all, I don't have the right acetate for my printer. Second of all, no matter what I did, the ink couldn't/wouldn't/flat out refused to dry. This made flipping it over to color a bit difficult! Like Impossible to do without smudging a LOT. And then since it won't dry, now that the card is done, I can't give it away because the image will still smudge off! But anyhoo, I made the card, completed the challenge, and now I guess I can just throw this one in my round filing cabinet!
STUFF I USED FOR THIS CARD:
STAMPS: NONE
INK: Computer Ink
PAPER: Digi Paper already in my scraps... so who knows! Oh yeah, and acetate :(
ACCESSORIES: Ribbon, Zig Markers (not recommended for this technique)
