STAMPlorations Monthly Challenge #8

Today is the STAMPlorations Monthly Challenge #8.  This month the challenge is borders.

For my tag I used STAMPlorations, Eclectic Florals, Graphic Squares, Happy, and Retro Mod Shapes. I am entering this into a new Mixed Media Challenge #1; use sprays and inks, along with Virginia's Challenge #4, tag with recycle.  [my ribbon came on something in the past.]
 

I went ahead and made a 2nd card that I am also entering this into Fusion Card Challenge, and the Time Out Challenge #7; summer with twist of flowers.  I did both the inspiration and the sketch.  I used STAMPlorations Happy, Graphic Squares and Grunge Floral Strips



You have all month to play in the STAMPlorations Challenge of borders.  [There is a fabulous prize too!]  Pop on over to see the Team's samples, and we even have a Guest Designer for this month~


Thanks for stopping by~

Awesome tag - I guess you really can do anything - I have been staying away from mixed media, but you make me reconsider....Love that fusion card, too!

A duo of dazzling delights, Vicki! Your mixed media tag is amazing! I've only just dabbled with embossing paste (polyfila, actually) so I'm light years behind in this style/technique. You've inspiring me to get on with the program more quickly. Your Fusion card: love it! Those floral stamps are soooo versatile!

Love your tag, Vicki!!! Such a lot of yummy mixed media going on there!!! Beautiful!!!

One thing that you don't see often is masculine cards with flowers on them, but I love to add small flowers to a masculine card myself, so this is a masculine card I really like!!!! The bold black lines and the super frame adds the perfect masculine touch!! I like, I like!!!

Lynn said...
