The Ultimate Artistic Avenger, aka Carrie Gaskin, one of my very favorite paper artists and sister Stampin’ Up! demonstrator has started a new challenge for her stamping followers. The KA-POW challenge will be issued every other Tuesday for now and you can read more right here.
KA-POW Kreative Challenge # 1 is a very cool color challenge. Here are the challenge colors:
And, here’s my card using an awesome new stamp set from the new Stampin’ Up! Idea Book and Catalog. Creative Elements has so many great images- the cards practically make themselves! I used all the colors above plus some Naturals White, a few Basic Rhinestones and Pearls, the Perfect Polka Dots textured embossing folder and the oval from the new Designer Frames folder duo. And, I love, love this card. I did a lot of distressing in honor of Carrie’s style, and rolled a few corners. I hope it makes her smile a bit. (Don’t you love these little rolled flowers? They are too easy…I will tell you how next time.)
I will be back soon with news about Isabella! and our marvelous Alaskan cruise.
