Two weeks ago Jana challenged the Prettie girls to a very strict challenge! Here are the rules:
Create a card or scrapbook page using the following items:
1 dry embossed piece (embossing folders and texture plates count!)
2 pieces of patterned paper
3 colors of solid card stock (this includes any neutrals you use)
4 embellishments
5 layers
So, the dry embossed piece must be one of your patterned papers or your 3 colors. And, at no point should there by more than 4 layers under a top piece of card stock. However, if you have your base card with a second layer on that...you may have multiple small pieces each with 2 layers under them...right? Oh...and you may use as many tools as you like. Guess this isn't so much limited as just very specific!
I'm not even sure if I followed them correctly, but I tried!! I think I have five layers....I'm counting the snowflake w/sentiment as a layer. My dry embossed piece is the Baja Breeze snowflake that was cut and EMBOSSED with a snowflake nestability. My embellishments are brads, button, Heidi Swapp Ghost snowflake, and Dazzling Diamonds. Oh, does paper piercing count? If so, then that's five and I definitely broke the rules!! LOL!
I used today's sketch challenge for the layout and the newly released Gliding By Sophia for the image. Paper Pretties just released this stamp and a brand new set called Flirty Fortunes for sale. You can check it out on their store site.
Don't forget to check out what the other Prettie Girls did with this challenge. I am sure they won't disappoint!!
