Making a Difference

Today is the day I am posting my card for our Challenge Your Stash group on SCS.  This is our 64th month of de-stash, so we are into our 6th year of challenges. I really like these challenges and know they will continue as I know I have many, many items in my stash that I can use and love the fun challenges!

The premise is to create a card or something else that uses only items that are in your own stamp room--nothing new is to be purchased.  The hostess each month posts their challenge to the group. Each person in the group creates their card with their own image, their own papers, their own embellishments with their own supplies--using up items from their own stash!  The card can be for any occasion and each person is encouraged to send the card on its way to someone so it can be admired.  It is a way for us to step out of the box a bit and create something that follows a challenge--isn't that what a challenge is supposed to be.  And--no money is spent as all items are to be already available in each of own stamping spaces.

Sue posted our April challenge-April 22 is Earth Day, my challenge is to make an Earth Day card. Think about all the things that make this earth beautiful.

I picked a sweet stamp from Taylored Expressions called Making a Difference.  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers.  I used various shades of green cardstock for this card in honor of Earth Day!  I layered on a piece of Green Mirricard for the back panel.  I added a few green enamel dots as the final touch.

 

Here is the inside of my card with a strip of the green shimmer paper:

If you check some of the blogs on my sidebar, you may find others who have posted their cards in the next few days. There may be more posted in the thread on SCS, so you might want to check out the link here.  We also have a keyword for the SCS Gallery--it is CYSAPR.  You might see many cards there if you do a search.  They probably will be posted today or in the next few days.

I hope you enjoyed my card and I know I am excited to check out what my other hoarders, I mean stash reducers have made!  Thanks for stopping by today!  For May, Shelly is up for our challenge.  Be sure to check back to see what we create then!
