Limited Florals

I saw today's Limited Supplies challenge last night before I went to bed, but I was too tired to play. This was the first thing that I did this morning, since I had all night to think about it!! This card is SUO and I THINK it follows all the rules, which were:


What this week’s challenge entails making your very OWN patterned/designer paper. I get comments on my cards all the time where someone will say “Great DSP!” Funny thing is, I have usually made it myself! Here are the rules:Using only ONE stamp set for your entire creation (yup, you read that right, just ONE), make a card that features patterned paper you make yourself using the images from the stamp set you select. Don’t worry, you can still stamp something as a focal point, I’d just like you to use your hand-stamped patterned paper somewhere on the card.Any sentiments you incorporate must also come from the same ONE stamp set.As far as punches/Nestabilties, diecuts, etc., you may only use these IF you are going to use them as part of your sentiment ONLY! Do not frame/mount any images using punches/diecuts, etc. You CAN, however, handcut any images you want!!And if that weren’t enough, the only embellishments you can use are ribbon and brads. Also, NO Cuttlebugging or texture plates. We want to see your lovely patterned paper!!!How’s that for limited?? I just want to give y’all an opportunity to go back to the basics . . . paper, stamps and ink!! Have fun!!

I used my new Fifth Avenue Florals to make my DP(Black Stazon on Kraft). I then made my main image by stamping the flower in Baja Breeze and then the sentiment over it in Black Stazon. I used my Valet ribbon originals, and two Kraft Corduroy Button Brads....I figured anything with the prongs on the back is a brad, so this TOTALLY counts!! A little bit of piercing and it was done...easy peasy!! I will have three posts today, so if you came straight to this one, you might check out my other two!! Thanks for stopping by!!
