Use Your Stash challenge #1

Here is my card to meet the above challenge. Very plain, but effective in my opinion. If you want to see more on how it was made go to MY BLOG .

Use Your Stash challenge #1

This one's a bit of mailart, postcard sized. So I'm not sure what to count it as, points-wise.

The stamp - which not only had I never used before, but I have no idea where I even got it from or when, mind's a total blank - reads "mail artists share, athletes compete".

It seemed perfect to grace a piece of mail art aimed at my best mate and fellow hockey obsessive Alison G - because it gave me an excuse to stick a couple of darned handsome sports fellows on the back :)


You can read more about it on my own blog if you feel the urge

Use your stash challenge.

This is my entry for the 'Use your Stash' challenge. Although the background stamps are old favourites, I had not used the main image by Paperartsy. It seems that whenever I buy a sheet of stamps, there is always one I find a bit challenging. This card is my first commission! I hope the recipient likes it!
Supplies used: Distress Inks, Nick Bantock Dye Ink, Perfect Pearls, and stamps by Paperartsy, Aud Design, and Hero Arts.
Thanks for the challenge, Kym!

UK STampers - Use your Stash Challenge #1

as Members of UK ST will know, I recently mentioned an on-going Use your Stash Challenge, so here is the first one:

Look through your stamps, and choose an image that you has never seen active service, and use it, along with other ingredients if you like, to make either an ATC or card.

As we go there will be points to collect, and there will be a little prize at the end for the people that have collected the most points. On each challenge post you will see the points that you can accumulate for that particular one (there will also be some that have additional bonus points). Just keep a note of your points as you go.

Members, please post your efforts either on the blog, on on your own blog with a link here. You could keep a tally of your points either in your signatures or on the database (see my details).

Non-members are welcome to join in, and should post a link to their contribution.........better still, think about joining our community........just go to UK STampers site, register and wait for activation.

The points for this challenge are:

• Members taking part = 5 points
• Non-members taking part = 2.5
• ATC = 2 points
• Card = 3 points

Closing date for Challenge #1 is Sunday, 5th August 2007.
