Today is the third Wednesday of the month and that means a Ready, Set, Go Challenge Card! The 3 Musketeers (Jeanette, Kelly and I) are back with another challenge this month--our 18th month! We are now coming to the end year #2!
Kelly provided the challenge for November: Typically in November, we gather together with friends and
family and celebrate the bountiful harvest with gratitude and
thanksgiving! And that usually includes lots of food :) No need to
loosen a button or unbuckle the belt for this month the RSG!
For the crafty side of November, we’re going to show portion
control! On this month’s card, use only a portion of
your image! No full stamping ... only part of your image can be on the
paper. For example, have a large flower stamp? Set it off the the edge of
the paper! You can add more than one - creating a collage effect if you
like - but no full images, including only highlighting part of it like a
spotlight technique (as the full image is visible below it.) Have fun
choosing your image and enjoy keeping the portions Lighter! At least for your
cards ;)
Blessings!
I inked up a Stampin' Up stamp set that I really like--Day of Gratitude--and the name even fits the theme and challenge. I thought the images would be good for a background and I also used one of oldie but goodie stamp sets--Graceful Words. I am not sure if I was only to use a portion of that sentiment too--but I did "cut" off the ends of the image........................
Here is the inside of my card:
Please be sure to check out the other Ready, Set, Go cards. Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog. I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card and that you might too! I up for the next theme, so be sure to check back to see what we are up to on the 3rd Wednesday in December!

WOW! Barb, I love the colorful stamping of the "portions" of those medallions. What a gorgeous card!!!
ReplyDeleteBarb this is sensational! I love how you popped off the flowers at the halfway mark - you nailed the challenge! The multi colored ink is a gorgeous touch - it reminds me of the fall leaves as they change. Beautiful blessing to you on this day of thanks and gratitude and safe travels! ♥
