This week it was my turn to come up with the challenge for the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. I have been lurking on Mel Stampz's blog and she must be one of the most creative persons alive and also the most willing to share as she comes up with the most amazing detailed tutorials. Thank you Mel for that!!! So, when I had to come up with what should the challenge be this week, instead of reinventing the wheel, that has already been invented by Mel, I just referred to her blog for inspiration. Hence the idea of the crayon resist challenge this week on the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. My card didn't really justify that amazing technique, perhaps my color combo is not the best for it, but I sure had fun creating. If you would like to learn about the technique, or simply just check out Mel's work (and you will be in a totally amazed, I promise), just click on Mel's crayon resist technique and it will take you to it.
Here are some of my attempts on creating the background:
Than I had to come up with the sketch and what better sketch to use than 2Sketches4You. I used Laura's sketch for this week to design this card. Now mind you, I kept it rather simple, as I wanted the background be the spotlight of the card. Anyway, hope you like it, so here it is:
Supplies needed to make this card:
Cuttlebug folder: Textile
Cardstock: SU white
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Urban Prairie
Black crayon
Garnet LuminArte powder mixed with water and sprayed on for the resist (same as Glimmermist)
Stamps: Stampin Up, Cat’s Life Press
Ribbon: Making Memories
Distress Stickles Broken China color
Bling from my stash
So, come visit us at the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog and play along, if nothing else, you will learn a pretty cool technique.
