Challenges!

It looks like everyone wants to challenge me!! Linda Has challenged me to show my 'Creating Space', and Cathy has challenged me to tell several things about myself. I WILL do both those things.... But NOT today. ;0)

Today I am answering a different challenge.

A challenge by Wednesdays Stamper to create something that has to do with games, using stamping somewhere on it.

This is my first time participating in one of Wednesdays Stampers Challenges. And this is what I'v created.

Its an ATC. I made this ATC by heat embossing the Image onto a playing card. The Stamped image is by Hampton Art Stamps. Unexpectedly the playing card shrunk under the heat (I guess there must have been some plastic in the playing card). In the space that was created by the card shrinking I strung beads along the top of the card. Its a bit warped and altered looking, but I think its neat.

Mail Art

This is a decorated Mail art envelope that I made for a swap Im in. When I was a teenager I used to make envelopes out of magazine adds, and that was as close to creative envelopes that I got. This is my first real try at Envelope mail art. It was fun, and Im quite pleased with how it turned out. My mother-in-law saw me making it, and imeadiatly recruited me to decorate 20 envelopes for my father-in-laws birthday party invitations. What have I got myself into?!
