Good Morning!
I have a lot to share today and I still have no battery/cord for my laptop...so this will be super duper fast....I'll apologize in advance if I have missed anything or have typos ;)
It's the 20th of the month which means it's time for another Dirty Dozen Challenge.
This month Christine is our hostess and she's given us these rules:
It's all about H2O
Challenge Focus: Create a project that has something to do with water, it can be in your stamps, paper, or embellishments. But lets celebrate the happiness of warm weather and refreshing water. Let us know the story behind it too!
Required Element: Watercoloring! If we're doing a water themed project there needs to be some element of watercoloring on your creation.
Restricted Element: If it's H2O that means the two in the equation restricts you to only two embellishments. For example, ribbon and piercing, primas and brads. Focal image shapes like nesties or sizzix die cuts don't count. Let's see how creative you can be with just 2 embellishments girls!
I've decided to make two cards! My first one is an All That Scraps image called Sugarplum Emma. My embellishments are primas and brads ;)
