Wild Sprouts Hugh

The challenge is to create a card inspired by your home town’s heritage, popular icons or predominant culture. The second challenge is to add texture.

For the first challenge, I live in Fort Worth, Texas and included several elements: First I gave Hugh a trendy cowboy hat and rope to represent all the casual cowboys of the city; next the shape behind him resembles the towering grain silos that dot my area; the star is for the state’s nickname, “Lone Star State” and features a new city logo; the metal tag has been distressed to symbolizes the metal recycling industry that I drive past regularly; and lastly I riveted a faux leather to the background to represent the town’s culture and ample selection of cowhide upholstery.

Fleur Anya

The first challenge is to include a princess on our card. I think every girl is a princess and since I have a lot of girl stamps it was easy to pick one out. A while ago I found the perfect size tiara stickers that I have been anxiously waiting to use and this seamed like the excellent opportunity. The second challenge is to create a card based on the inspirational photo provided. I focused on the pastel pink and green floral arrangement on the counter.

I altered Fleur Anya to remove the lei on her head and replaced it with a headband for the tiara. Here is Anya pictured just before crowning her with the tiara.

OA Happy Days – Amelia

The challenge is to create a card or project based on the inspirational photo provided. I chose to use the cupcake as the inspiration and selected a fun designer paper from my scrap stash. I didn’t use the red, white & blue colors from the photo but the card still has a bright festive color scheme. The other challenge is a recipe challenge to use one designer paper, one ribbon and one stamp.
