Challenge Me.....

...I like challenges. Why, you ask? Because at least you have a starting point for an idea...

So, I will try to keep the words brief, because I have three challenges to show you.

First, the final CCC.  What can I say, it's been a great ride! Lovely Linda has put so much time and effort into this event, I can't thank her enough!
I ended up taking bits and pieces of stuff I had left over from other projects and put them together. The stitching thing with wire, was, well, frustrating. I poked way too many holes. Finally, I just ended up using the tiny attacher, and realized half way thru that I couldn't reach the one side with it. Hence the mish mash of staples and wire. lol. Oh, and the heart is metal, puffed out, which you can't tell here...

Over at the Order of the Opus Gluei, the theme is "show us a NEW TRICK".  This could be taken several ways, lol, but according to the orders bestowed upon us by the Poobahs, it involves showing a new technique. Using something from the paper craft world. Not what some of you might be thinking...yes, it's a rowdy crowd I run with....
My new trick is using metal tape sheets on Clearly for Art, which is a plastic modeling film that you can mold when heated. It doesn't shrink either. The lovely Wendy is the genius behind this product and I so willingly admit, the technique itself...it can be found on the butterfly on this tag, which is also the tag that was empty a couple of days ago, except for the "perfect stamping" background....

All stamps are Studio 490, the banner is from Tim's Regal Crest die, I folded it at the ends so it really stands out from the tag, but you can't tell that by this photo. On the metal on the butterfly, I used alcohol inks in yellow, orange and watermelon.

And finally, Hels Sunday Stamper this week is "NATURE".  Well, I had this tag leftover from a previous project, it is collaged paper from 7 Gypsies Conservatory, with a coat of beeswax over it, and I added a little banner with sentiment (Studio 490), the butterfly, which is a rub on, and my little UTEE bluebird. I haven't decided what might be a good topper for it yet...lol...suggestions are welcome. I might just put it on a card or something.

Wow, I'm exhausted. Perhaps a piece of chocolate might give me a burst of energy...
Hope you all are having a good week, thanks for stopping by...
Go Be Creative!
