"Try A New Technique" Challenge

Posted by Kathy Torrence on Nov 5, 2007 in Cards, Crafts |

Let’s just say that I was having more than a few blonde moments this morning.  I went to check the challenge board on SplitCoastStampers this morning and saw the Shopping Tote challenge at the top of the board. 

I assumed that was the challenge for today, and worked for quite a while to complete my Shopping Tote project:

PB040021

I lined the inside of the tote, stamped the outside and even used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges and on the handles.  I added a stick pin and flower from the Pretties Kit and included a little tag on the handle, too.

When I went to post to the message board, I saw that the tote was NOT the challenge for today – someone had just posted to the tote challenge which moved it up to the top of the list!

So…I decided to do the actual challenge for today – a pocket card.  So I made this:

PB050001

I used the Wintergreen designer paper for color inspiration and watercolored the images using ink and a blender pen.  I also used a scallop punch for the pull-tab on the card inside and thought I was happy with this design…until I went to post it and saw that the challenge was for a HORIZONTAL pocket card, not a vertical one.

Sigh…after that, I decided to give up on this challenge for today…
