Embossing

Distressing

CHANA'S PROJECT

The Mystery Box ingredients this week are pretty simple, and, there is a cool inspiration photo from which to draw colors, lines, etc.  For example, the brickwork at the top of the fireplace inspired me to use corrigated cardboard for the cover of my mini album.  The clip with with the pearls was inspired by the lamp on the table beside the fireplace and my flowers are a loose interpretation of the vase of flowers on the table.

Mystery Box Challenge #3

MYSTERY BOX #3
Hello, Designers:  Here are the Mystery Box Ingredients for this Challenge

FABRIC
CIRCLE PUNCH OR CIRCLE DIE
STITCHING
BLING

Remember, the idea is to be as creative as possible in your use of these ingredients.  Your project can be any crafting project.  It can be made of paper, wood, glass, etc.  The design vehicle is up to you.  As long as it incorporates all the ingredients.

Last week's winner was Edie Warren and she has created this inspirational design to get us started:

My card includes:

Fabric - Snowman's Scarf

Blue circle punch with sentiment

Stitching around the borders of the card

Bling in the center of the flower and on the stars.

Well, Edie has inspired me!  I look forward to seeing your creations.

Remember:

(1) We will not have a permanent Design Team, instead, designers will be chosen from each challenge and they will be invited to create the inspiration projects for the next challenge. 

(2)  Designers chosen to for the DT will be given the opportunity to determine the contents of upcoming Mystery Boxes.

(3)  All Mystery box items must be used.  If colors are specified, they must be prominent in the design. 

Some Mystery Boxes may require rubber stamps as opposed to digital Images and vice versa.  Most Mystery Box Contents will be very generic.  Hopefully,  the  items are already languishing in your craft room just waiting to be used.  We are not enablers!
