ABC-123 Challenge

Every month the i {heart} papers Design Team is given a challenge by Deb Felts, our Challenge Coordinator. This month our challenge was ABC-123, which translated into 1 word stamp (the ABC part), 2 embellishments, and 3 layers. Yikes! I mean, I’ve embraced the clean and simple look, but limiting myself like that was, well, a challenge. And this is what I came up with:

The quotation stamp is from the August Unity Stampin’ Store kit that is available at i {heart} papers. To be completely true to the challenge, I omitted the three tiny stars that come on the stamp, approximately where the tail of the rhinestone swirl starts. That swirl is a snipped off bit of one of the Zva crystal flourishes. My patterned layer is from the new Dewfrost Collection Pad. I cut the quotation out with my Labels 4 Nestabilities, and airbrushed it with a Copic marker. The ribbon is a leftover scrap of something I picked up at Target a while ago, and the bow was made with my new Bow Easy, which I LOVE!!!!!. The base is PTI Dark Chocolate.

I’m thrilled with the way it came out! Now go check out the rest of the design team and see what they came up with:
