Friday has rolled around again and that means another challenge is starting at QKR Stampede. Remember that our challenges are now "Anything Goes" with an optional theme if you want to use it. This week, even our optional theme is "Anything Goes" so how can you lose?
You're not required to use an image from QKR but if you do, then your card is entered into a separate draw just for QKR images and your chances of winning are significantly increased! You could also use an image from our sister company, Eureka Stamps, and that would also be placed into the separate draw.
I decided it was a perfect week to make an encouragement card for a young man I know. Since he loves Wizard of Oz, this "Lion" image seemed perfect. In the actual image, there's a heart around his neck but I covered that with the "Courage" badge.
I colored him with my ProMarkers, then die cut both the image and the background CS (both were scraps rescued from the toss-out pile) with stitched dies from Die-namics. I adhered all three pieces to the card front, inlaying the lion image into the background.
I found a scrap of the stitched ribbon in my stash and then added one of my wrapped-burlap bows. I thought that made a perfect masculine card for a 10 year old.
Challenges:
Aud Sentiments
Crafty Sentiments
Creative Moments
Cuttlebug Mania
Die Cuttin' Divas
Digi Choosday
Lemon Shortbread
Pammie's Inky Pinkies
