Ding Ding... Round 2 Oz vs Hannah







This will be possibly my longest post to date as I managed to make several cards for the challenge. I may not be able to sit for a week, but I mostly stand at my job anyway.


As a reminder, this challenge is to make as many "things" as possible out of one prize pack that Hannah and I received. We can add a plus 1 per "thing" and card bases do not count.


My "plus 1" for the round scalloped card is the bow. I played a little with my sisters Copics on this one. I need to spend a lot more time on the "learning curve" ride with copics.


The heart with wings was fun. The white wings are the backing paper from the copper sticker sheet. The copper stickers are embossed and so is the shiny backing paper. I figured why not... it is everything in the package ... right? But the paper is shiny, it will not hold ink, chalk, not even alcohol inks were playing nice. Then I got the bright idea to turn in over. Hey debossed is a good look too! And the back held the ink like a champ! But then I remembered what the shiny side was for.... NON STICK backing for stickers. Guess how had it is to glue.....


The "plus 1" for both the heart with wings and the big butterfly cards is the ribbon.



The little 3x3 note card has a pretty little copper butterfly sitting atop the bow. Of course it doesn't show up well in the pic, but it is very sweet. I punched it out after sticking some of the bigger letters on card stock. I didn't want to damage my punch.








The Super and stars are more of the shiny backing paper from the stickers. You can see the embossing now. I punched the stars from where the swirls were on the sticker sheet. Made cool looking stars... don't ya think?




A little paper piecing for her dress... ab fab darlin...




This little scrapling has a hank of ribbon added for it's Plus 1. I just felt that roan colored gingham was a perfect match.


As for my last entry to the challenge... for today.... I have a little vintage. The Plus 1 for this card is the stamping on the circle piece. The circle piece is an old spool top from something Deborah purchased. She wrapped the ribbon she sent us on it. I stamped and distressed it with chalk ink. Pretty cool uh? Yeppers...I think so anyway.

Ok my butt and I have a little time away from the Shrinky Dink room. I promised it. Pretty sad when you have to promise body parts to get things done...!! But that is my life. Or should I say... BUTT that is my life...wink wink!

Till next time, ENJOY! the Oz
