Hi there!
It's time for another challenge at Elphine House Australia! This time it's "Anything Goes"! How easy is that! You can use ANY Elisabeth Bell stamp or image, not just EHA, so you have lots to choose from!
Here is my sample for the challenge...sorry, I can't resist using "Daisy"! She's SO sweet and so much fun to color!
I was in the mood for pinks and browns on this one! Such a pretty combination! I used the Sending Love Specialty paper from Stampin Up, I love this one particular paper from the collection, and I've been saving it for something special.
I decided to make a junior notepad cover for this one, it makes a beautiful gift! I used the Junior Notepad tutorial on Split Coast Stampers under "Resources-Tutorials-Junior Legal Pad" which you can find here. I adapted it to use the full size legal pad, not the pad cut in half. As usual, I love to take things and change it up a little. Using this tutorial as a base, you can adapt it to cover all kinds of notepads. One of these days, I need to my own tutorial!
Here is the inside of the note pad:
I added a favorite Bible verse inside, Proverbs 3:5,6, for encouragement. This stamp is from the Scripture Collection #2 from Our Daily Bread Designs which you can find here. I love the Scripture Collections from ODBD, I use them all the time for all kinds of occasions. The inside is decorated with matching paper from the same designer paper collection and a couple of butterflies with pearls. I try not to put too many embellishments inside so it closes nicely.
Here is a photo from above it:
Here is a close up photo of Daisy...so sweet!
I am also entering this in two other challenges. The Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge #123, to make a heart stand out on your card/project which you can find here. I hope my heart(s) stand out enough! The focus for the challenge is:
The other challenge is from Cheery Lynn Designs for Challenge #12, to do dry embossing. You can find the challenge here. The butterflies and mats are embossed, and I used my one and only Cheery Lynn die (wish I had more), Fanciful Flourish. I love the delicateness of this flourish.
For all the ingredients, please see my post here in my Split Coast Stampers Gallery!
Hope to see join in on the EHA Challenge! It's getting to be a lot more popular, Yeah!!! Blessings!
