eCraft Challenge!

Hi everybody!  I haven't been around much lately because of my husband's spinal surgery.  Everything went very well and he is at home recovering.  He is walking and is starting to feel a little better each day, so he is well on the way to recovery.  Now on to other business...

Kim Bush over at the eCraft_Crafters Yahoo group challenged us to make a project using at least three cuts from the Fundamentals SD 1 card.  I actually ended up using 4 images.  First off, here is the card.


The tag, chairs, and table are all from the Fundamentals 1 SD card. The You're Invited sentiment is from the Paper Tray stamp set from Papertrey Ink.  I stamped it in Versamark and embossed it with Vanilla Zing Embossing Powder.  The tag is wrapped with some Enchanted Evening Baker's Twine also from PTI.  The Blue, Green and Brown cardstocks are from Core'dinations Nostalgia Stack.  The chairs are spritzed with some Perfect Pearls (just added a little bit of the Perfect Gold powder to some water in a Mini Mister).  Instead of using the overlay images, I used a brown marker to color in those areas that the eCraft drew on the green cardstock.  I love the way that this made it look like a retro dining chair (something that my Grandmother would have owned).  For the table, I used some Vintage Photo Distress Ink to age the table so that it looked like it went with the chair.  The kraft card base is stamped with Background Basics: Diamonds stamp set from PTI in Versamark ink.  I also used my Scor Buddy to create a border around the perimeter of the card.

Have a great day everybody...oh and I just got a brand new eCraft SD card that I will be playing with over the next few days!
