Hi there, and Happy Wednesday!
It's time for a new Designer's Choice Challenge at The House That Stamps Built.
Today's challenge hostess is Deonna Bemish, and she has challenged
us all to create 'Anything but a card'.
Well, you all know that this is right up my alley - I love creating gifting type items,
so here is what I made:
 |
| Repeat Impressions 406-H Peace, Love... Repeat Impressions 2008-K Shepherd Boy |

| I began by stamping the image onto a piece of white cardstock. I stamped the image again onto a post it note, fussy cut it, and placed it over the image, creating a mask. Then I began sponging the sky. Working from the top down, I used three shades of distress ink. I tore a couple of post it notes to make the 'hills', and sponged them with two shades of green distress inks. I then removed the masks, and colored the Shepherd Boy with Copic markers. The star was dotted with glitter. The sentiment was stamped first with black ink, and then again (moving the stamp slightly) with Alabaster chalk ink. Matted the image with black cardstock using my Perfect Layers Mini Rulers (check out the sidebar for details on saving TEN percent! |

| Here's the box all opened up, and filled with chocolate deliciousness! |
This darling little gift box was featured at My Chic n Scratch last week.

Now, it's time to see what my fellow Rock Stars have created with this fun challenge!

Hugs and smiles,
