I apologize if this post seems a little rushed... it is. I am hurrying to get it finished because I am leaving in the morning for an out of town work seminar & won't be home in time to post. I will fine tune it when I get back though so please bear with me. The challenge this week at Creative Card Crew is to create a treat box or bag & our sponsor is Simon Says Stamp. This is a little out of my comfort zone & making anything more than a card usually makes me break out into a sweat & this treat box is no exception. I am happy with the way it turned out but it was the second box I made (I bothered the first one with so much fidgeting that it more or less fell apart) & I coloured two other images before I decided on this one. I've used Whiff of Joy's Henry Celebrating Mouse plus the Magical Wishes sentiment set. These sentiments are so versatile & I use them a lot. I must say, the Whiff of Joy rubber stamps beautifully - a nice crisp, clear image every time. The images were coloured with Copics, the ink is Memento Tuxedo Black. I used the Spellbinder's Tag Trio set for the tags; Spellbinders Circles & Scalloped Circles; Tim Holtz Walnut distressing ink to shade & of course Stickles. All of these products are readily available at Simon Says Stamp so go check it out & be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations at Creative Card Crew & enter the challenge.
