Dollies FINAL Elements Challenge for April!

there's a brand new Elements Challenge at Design Dollies - get on it! the prize is HOT, seriously, and this was a super fun challenge (which wasn't NEARLY as difficult as i'd originally expected when i read the recipe!)...

we want to see the following:
1) 3 different patterned papers from the same manufacturer (if you can swing it!)
2) a tag
3) an UNCOULORED stamped image
4) RED ribbon(s)
5) something lime green

i scoured and scoured, and found ONE thing i wanted to use, then the rest kind of fell into place. wasn't sure i'd be able to make it WORK, but these Hambly papers definitely surprised me!
here's my card:




there's Hambly woodgrain, dress forms, and frames (i just cut one of the frames out from the sheet). the tag is a teeny-tiny one attached to the red ribbon. the rest is self-explanatory. ;)

remember, this is the LAST Elements Challenge for April, so if you're hoping to score those yummy Thickers, those vintage-inspired die-cuts, the cute clear stamps, and all the chipboard yum (among other things), you'll be frantically scouring now, just like i was!

have fun with it! you have until next MONDAY, May 3rd at midnight EST to play along... OR if you wait until this Thursday, Kristy-dollie will be posting the next sketch challenge, and you can try your hand at the TRIFECTA by Sunday at midnight. we have faith in you!

  1. Oh I LOVE love love love the Hambly!! I want..super bad!! I absolutely adore this card, it totally tipped off my "love it" radar! I may completely lift your non colored image though...I got an awesome dress form in a swap(actually from the wonderful Miss Adina!!) that would go PERFECTLY with this challenge...the gears are turning!!

  8. wow, ok, see sometimes it really helps to LOOK AT the projects in addition to reading the recipe! b/c yeah--this one sounds like a *HARD* combination!!! but now that i see your card i realize: i have LOTS of "sets" of paper...i love lime green...the red can be minimal...i've got some tiny tags...etc, etc!

    not that my card would ROCK as thoroughly as this one does...but hey...i might give it a go!!!
