Happy Saturday crafters! The Artistic Outpost has a monthly challenge called the Referral Program. They have
revamped the Referral Program for 2012, and it started today, February 1st. Each month they will post a
challenge theme on the blog along with inspiration from the Design
Team. To participate in the challenge, you'll need to use Artistic
Outpost images along with the theme to create your project, and then add your
link to the Monthly Referral Program post. The challenge will be open
for the entire month, and you'll be able to enter as many times as you
wish. At the end of the month they'll have the Random Number Generator
pick the winner, and post the winners name on their blog. The winner
of the monthly Referral Program will receive an Artistic Outpost Prize
Package! The first Theme
Challenge is "Shades of Red", and you have until February 28, 2012, to enter and hopefully win some yummy stamps!
Here is the tag I created for the Referral Theme Challenge (shucks, I can't win the prize). I used the Lovely Day stamp set. I am also submitting this little beauty (I named her Hannah) to the "embellish it" challenge at The Stamp Man.
I had this scrap red paper that I tore out of a Somerset Studio Magazine. I embossed it with the Valentine Background texture fade, and then inked it with Black Soot Distress Ink. I adhered it to a tag, although I went with a black one instead of manilla. |
I used Red Pepper Alcohol Ink to color the button rose. |
Supplies:
Wilton: Foil Gold Doily
The Paper Studio: glittered red cardstock
Uchida Marvy: Red Pigmented Marker
From My Stash: red wire, red and white cardstock, ribbon, wooden heart (given to me)
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
Потрясающе-миленькая штука! Мне очень нравится! как раз в стиле наступающего праздника!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could read what you said, but I can't find a translator tool. Thank you for commenting though, I know it was sweet coming from you!
DeleteGorgeous Anita!!! I love the touches of gold through-out!
ReplyDeleteYou always give me such great ideas! I keep seeing the NEED to get the Valentine texture fade--and I have some white doilies in my kitchen--great idea to use them in a Valentine project! You continue to inspire!
