Crafty Gals ~ Outside the Box!

 

It is the 5^th of the month, so I am back with another challenge of the Crafty Gals!  We are a group of bloggers who have monthly challenges, caring comments & fun chit chat on SCS—our favorite stamping site to visit.

This month, the challenge was posted by Athina.  Here are the details of her challenge:

“Think Outside the Box!”

I challenge you to make a project with no squares or rectangles (not even the base of a card or scrapbook layout). Since we have already stepped outside the box, let’s take another step. Try a technique that you have not tried before. It is always fun to learn something new and expand our creativity. Have fun with it! I can't wait to see what you create!

I do not like to be outside of my comfort zone—and 99% of my cards use rectangles and squares.  I might make a tent topper, but it still has a square base.  So—this challenge was a good one for me.  We made a card similar to this one at a stamp event I went to a few months ago and I thought it was a fun card.  So—I made a telescoping card and it is made with three circles!  My technique is to make that type of card as well as adding glitter, which I seldom do.

 

 This is the first and second circles--aren't these a couple of cuties!

 

Here is the card all the way open!

I think it is a fun card and I hope Athina thinks I met the challenge!
