100 Challenges!

Happy Friday!  We are celebrating our 100th Challenge at TGIF Challenges by featuring our founder, Mercedes Weber.  Each designer was asked to design a project inspired by Mercedes wonderful style. You can check out her blog HERE.  All of our designers participated and there is some amazing inspiration for this challenge. 

 

I couldn't select just one of Mercedes' cards to CASE, so I chose elements from several recent cards that she has posted.  I also tried a new technique on the Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper, and I'll share a video tutorial for that next week.

 

I used the Dragonfly Dreams photopolymer bundle for the stamped image and greeting on this card.  Shades of blue—Dapper Denim, Marina Mist, and Soft Sky—fill the background.  You'll notice a few hints of bling with the Silver Glimmer paper strip along the side and some scattered rhinestones.

 

I'm just guessing, but I think Mercedes must be a big fan of doilies. She uses them a lot on her projects!  I love these new ones because one side is white and the other side is vanilla.  It makes them so versatile!

 

Of course, I had to use my favorite die….the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I really don't think anyone should be without this set of Framelits.  Be sure to get it this month and earn some Sale-a-Bration products, too.

Don't forget to check out what the other designers created this week.  We'd also love to have you play along!

Thanks so much for stopping  by!
