A Recipe Challenge at the 4 Crafty Chicks


Hello again, everyone!  How's the week been treating you?  First of all, I want to thank everyone that played along with my metal challenge last week at the 4 Crafty Chicks - you guys knocked it outta the park!  We posted the winners yesterday so if you want to check out our Golden Egg winners please do and then while you are there, take a peek at our new challenge.  Tamie is the hostess-with-the-mostest this week and she has given us a recipe to follow while making this week's cards:  3 patterned papers, 2 brads and 1 ribbon. 

I spent the other evening over at The Cat's Pajamas Pajama Party at SCS and had some great fun with Alma and the girls - the new release is awesome!  If you missed it, please check it out over at the TCP store and then pop over to the TCP Blog for some FABULOUS creations using the new stamps.  Did I order some?  Ummm...what do you think?  :)   This week's TCP Tuesday Challenge is a color challenge and I really like the colors Sony chose:


And, since TCP is this month's sponsor over at Jen's Sketch For You to Try and the sketch is REALLY awesome, I thought I'd use it again for my card:

Once I had the colors and sketch out of the way, I had to find some patterned paper that would work for these colors and came across another paper pad from Cosmo Cricket that I had never used.*sigh*  I am so addicted to paper...  Anyhoo, this one is called Material Girl and it has some really fun patterns in it.  Here ya go - my card with 3 patterned papers, 2 black brads and 1 ribbon - some black satin...LOVE IT!

Stamps: Ship Happens (TCP)  Ink: Versafine Onyx Black  Paper: Material Girl DSP (Cosmo Cricket), SU! DSP, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, Whisper White  Accessories: Black brads,black satin ribbon, sewing machine, corner punch, scor-tape, Copics, red metallic cord, halfback pearl (Pretties Kit), circle punch, clear embossing powder

I hope you will play along with the 4 Crafty Chicks this week - you know we love it when you do.  :)  Enjoy the rest of your week.  It is FINALLY starting to warm up around here so I am looking forward to enjoying the sun.  See you soon!
