Pink, Black and White


Well after being in a bit of a creative slump earlier this week, I rounded up some challenges and headed to my studio to create.

First up is a combination challenge for Use It and CPS. I followed CPS card sketch 115 then tried to see what I could do with the Use It suggestions of:
1. Pink, black, white colours
2. Accents with scallops, ribbon, and bling
3. Pattern with polka dots
4. D.I.Y.: aka 'do it yourself'

Lets see how I did:
1. pink, black and white colours , check!
2. Accents of scallops, ribbon and bling, check!
3. Pattern with polka dots, used the swiss dots embossing folder, check!
4. DIY, made my own scallop border using a small oval diecut from spellbinders, check!

Then at CCC, they suggested making a 3-D project. So I decorated a composition book with inspiration from Kazan's sketch 26.



I quite like the swiss dot embossed accent trim on the book and am loving the polka letters by Thickers! I also embellished with scallops cut with Spellbinders dies. In fact, I think the composition book also fits the Use It challenge!

It feels good to create!

Terrific...great interpretation of the sketch and the altered notebook rocks! (So stealing that idea of using the scalloped ovals/circles down the edge!)
