Paper dust

Paper dust is all I have left, well almost.

 

If you recall, at the end of September I assembled a card/tag making kit. The kit included 6 sheets of paper (3 of which were double sided), 5 stamps, 4 inks, 3 embellishments, 2 ribbons and 1 drink of choice. PJ challenged us to remain within the limitations of our kit and create cards and tags until there were no paper sheets left, only paper dust.

 

   

It was definitely a challenge, especially the 4 inks limitation. I love my inks and wanted to use more ink colours. I am not sure if I cheated by using Copic markers to colour Santa, probably. The other biggest challenge was not being able to use my arsenal of supplies to correct my errors. If I made a mistake I couldn't use other inks or papers to make the mistake look better or less noticeable.

 

With my kit I was able to create 7 cards and 9 tags. Some projects turned out better than others but I had fun just the same. Unfortunately, due to Internet failure I was not able to upload my projects before the PJ Challenge deadline (midnight November 3rd).

 

 

Which one is your favorite?

Till next time, Happy Paper Crafting!

Card and Tag Kit

Hello everyone. 

 

PJ Challenge has posted a very interesting challenge. The challenge is in two parts. The first part, due by September 30th, is to assemble a package based on a pre-set list.

• 6 papers
• 5 stamps
• 4 inks
• 3 embellishments
• 2 ribbons, and
• 1 drink of choice

Here are my items. Three of the papers are double sided, hence the almost identical pictures.

 

The second paper from the right is maroon (not brown).

From left, the double sided papers are 1, 3, and 6

 

 

You will notice 4 ribbons in the picture but I will only use two of the four. I didn't want to unravel one of them just for the sake of the picture.

 

My drink of choice is in the blue cylinder at the top left of the pictures. It recently changed to water, trying to become a little healthier and shed a few useless pounds.

 

Are you asking "so, what is part two of the challenge?" I would be happy to tell you. The second part, due November 1st, is to use the items in this package to make cards and tags. The goal is to use as much of the items as possible. To use every piece of paper until there is only paper dust left.

 

So if this challenge peeks your interest as it has mine, either join the challenge or come back in November to see what I have created.

 

Till then, happy crafting.
