As Easy As 1-2-3 in The Shabby Tea Room!


Welcome back for another fabulous challenge in The Shabby Tea Room! This week's challenge comes to us from Nicole and she has given us a recipe challenge: 1 ribbon, 2 buttons, and 3 punches.  Don't be afraid - it may sound difficult but it really isn't.  :)  Promise.

This week's sponsor in the Tea Room is one of my favorites, JustRite Stampers.  They have got some AMAZING stamps and I am totally lovin' their new clear stampers and the new Christmas sets are super-cute.  This week's winner will win a prize package filled with lots of JustRite goodies.



I decided to use JustRite's Groovy Snowman set and knew that this week's Color Throwdown combination would work PERFECTLY with a wintery-themed card.  I still don't have any Marina Mist so I had to find another color from my stash that would work:

Our fearless leader, Debbie, just became one of the Truly Scrumptious DT so when I saw that their sketch had the PERFECT shapes and layout for the STR challenge, I HAD to use it (but I *did* make it into a square because my image is so large...):
Here's how I incorporated the recipe: 
  • 1 Ribbon - I used ribbon in more than one place but it is the same ribbon so I hope that counts...  :) 
  • 2 Buttons - Bottom right corner...  :) 
  • 3 Punches - This is the part I kind of *fudged* a bit... I used three different sizes of circle Nestabilities around my image.

Recipe - Stamps: Groovy Snowman (JustRite Stampers), Ornamental Christmas (Verve)  Paper: Whisper White, Not Quite Navy, unknown light blue, SU! DSP (retired)  Ink: Not Quite Navy, Memento Tuxedo Black  Accessories: Paper piercer, Nestabilities, Copics, Copic Spica glitter pens. Dots & Snowflakes embossing folder, buttons, hemp twine, Wild Wasabi stitched ribbon, Hodgepodge Hardware - Styled Silver
