TTIC Special Limited Supplies Challenge – Sponsored by Club Scrap

This is a new post from TTIC. I will be participating in next week’s challenge. Read on for today’s details!

We’re back with another special Wednesday challenge! Today we’ll be doing our first of two challenges sponsored by Club Scrap. (See below for information on next week’s second Club Scrap challenge.) For today’s challenge, Club Scrap has generously provided members of our Design Team with their Greetings to Go-From the Heart kits. You can see the kit, and shop online, at Club Scrap’s site.

And today, we’re changing it up a bit – we’re doing our first Limited Supplies Challenge! And we are really giving you a challenge today – no embellishments are permitted on this one. We’ll have to stretch ourselves a little bit! Here are the details:

Which items are acceptable to use?

Paper-related items:

Cardstock & designer paper

Stamps

Ink and other coloring mediums (markers, pencils, gel pens)

Die cutting/embossing machine, along with dies and embossing folders

Paper punches

What is not permitted:

Embellishments of any type – including brads, eyelets, hardware, buttons, ribbon, Stickles, Shimmerz, Prima flowers, Dew Drops, etc.

So give it a shot and see what you can come up with using just the basics! We’d love you to play along with us! Leave us a comment and let us know if you play along. And this week, half of our Design Team has played along; see below for links to today’s projects:

Design Team Members: Julie – Jen – Tonya

Guest Design Team Members: Jacquie – Donna

And about next week’s Club Scrap challenge – that theme will be announced next Wednesday, August 12th, and the other half of our Design Team will be working on that one. Be sure to check back with us next week for that!

February Smeared & Smudged Sketch Challenge

The new Smeared & Smudged challenges are up and ready for you to participate in! I got instantly inspired by Kelli’s card sketch for the month, as I have been working with different ideas for my next “Tarot Card.” Haha! That’s actually pretty funny! If you’ve been checking in over the past couple of weeks, you may have seen my Misty Benson Tarot Set 1 ( Smeared Ink ) cards. I’ve used The World and The Fool so far. Today, I bring you Death. Don’t worry…it’s actually a joyful image…one that I intend to use a lot! First, here’s the sketch. I flipped it and changed the ribbon and embellishment a bit. Can I just start off by saying that it is quite nerve wracking to slice your image??? I have done it a few times in the past, but I always get butterflies when I attempt it again. I colored the image and the card itself using nothing but Distress Inks and my Cut-n-Dry Nibs. My skull button at the top has been colored with Alcohol Inks. The colors look a little off to m

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga
