New Use Your Stuff Challenge - Wrap It Up and a Double Trouble Collaboration

 

We're back today on the Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog with a new challenge:

For this challenge we're collaborating with the Double Trouble Challenge Blog and here are all the details:

Thing 1 on the Double Trouble Challenge Blog is to use your favourite die cutting tool and Thing 3 (which is our part) is to use the 'Wrap It Up' theme by adding a ribbon, bow, some twine or washi tape.  Then share your card on our challenge and on the Double Trouble Challenge Blog.

You can find the Double Trouble part of the challenge here and the Use Your Stuff part of the challenge here

To make my card I used my Cuttlebug which is my favourite cutting tool and some washi tape along the borders of the papers I used to make my background.

Here's what I used:

- Big Tidings dies by Tim Holtz from Sizzix

- patterned papers from Stampin' Up

- washi tape from Stampin' Up

- other paper and card from Craft Creations

We're back today on the Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog with a new challenge.

I decided to do something a bit different for my DT card using reverse masking.

I created a stencil using a heart die from X Cut and then applied Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink through the stencil using a blending brush.

Then, with the stencil still in place, I used the Home to Roost stamp set from Stampin' Up with Night of Navy ink.

I finished the card by layering the image panel on to a piece of navy card from Hobbycraft.
