I am trying a new challenge today at Around the World Stampin’ Up! Challenges. These challenges are open to everyone, not just demonstrators. The only rule is that you create the project with Stampin’ Up! products that are not retired. Here is the sketch for Challenge 33.

I started with a base of Naturals Ivory and added a layer of Night of Navy. The next layer of Adventure Bound DSP was embossed with the Polka Dots Fun Frames TIEF and sanded to reveal the white core of the DSP. The art panel on Whisper White has part of one of the World of Dreams images which I coloured direct to stamp with markers and then spritzed with water to give a watercolour look. The sentiment is from Four You.

If you are looking to kick start your mojo, why not join in these challenges. There are 2 new ones each month – on the 1st and the 15th and you then have 2 weeks to complete them.

Challenge 33 closes on 30 January 2015, so put your thinking cap on, create and upload your project to your blog and link to the challenge post.
