I was very happy with my inchie-themed card inspired by the Spotlight Challenge, but I was floored when I won. Thank you, Vix, Cazro & all! I don't really pay attention to the possible prizes when I choose a challenge, but I do remember seeing this one with its prize of a stamp grab-bag and thinking, how totally awesome. I had a choice between "colouring kinda stamps or arty type randomness ones," and of course I picked the latter! I expected a few flourish-y stamps, but WOW I got a really fun mix of vintage-y motifs.
As soon as I saw this beach flapper stamp, I knew I had to use it for a few challenges I've been saving up: the Paper Players color combo, Top Tip Tuesday's sketch (by Karen's Doodles), and the Folded-Paper Frame theme at Stampin' Dymonz Scrap Shack (hosted by Joynana). I was especially inspired by Joynana's take on having the flaps open & close.
Tip: Ticket CornersThis card really comes together because of the inverted corners. I was talking to Mom about the cute ticket digis from When the Scrap Hits the Fun, and she told me about about making "ticket corners" with a hole punch. Just punch a semicircle from the edge:
It's so easy and the result is super-fun. Thanks for the tip, Mom!Inspiration:
