Kim and Tara Challenge.....#4!!!

8:25 AM

So Tara and I decided to kick things into high gear this year with our friendly challenges! This time I picked out some coordinating patterned papers and mailed them to Tara, while she stamped up a few copies of a particular image and mailed them to me. The thing was, neither of us knew what the other one was sending!!! So I could have ended up putting a rather feminine looking dude image on my pink and purples flowery papers!! That would not have been good....but therein lies the challenge!! Haha!

Instead I got this adorable Sarah Kay image which went perfectly with the Three Bugs in a Rug dp that I picked out!!! I used Orchid Opulence for the square card base along with some rosey Bazzill Bling...which I love because it's so shiny and glittery! I used my Threading Water scalloped border punch on some green BBling cardstock and placed it across the middle and added some sheer polka dotty ribbon. I used my Copics on the image and cut and embossed it with my Curved Rectangles Nesties and pop dotted it. I attached some lovely matchy matchy Prima hydrangeas with Basic Grey brads and the sentiment is from My Favorite Things!

What a fabulous challenge! Now go and check out Tara's blog, Inking on the Edge to see her amazing creation!!!

I've got the day off today, so I'm going to feed my stamping addiction and try to get some challenges done! What are YOU gonna do??
