#mattschallenge

Hello hello!

It's time for another #mattschallenge. My husband loves to inspire me to step outside the box or my comfort zone. He'll often grab an ink, a punch/framelit and stamp set and issue "Matts Challenge!". He'd love to extend that challenge to everyone and left us a post it note with his challenge on my craft desk this morning.

If you missed the previous challenge, you can find my blog post here. 

Here's my Periscope/Katch explaining it all.

* Balloon Celebration stamp

* Rose Red Ink

* 1" square punch

* Washi tape - any

If you don't have these particular items, you can substitute any of them for what you own in your stash. It does not have to be Stampin' Up products either.



To enter #mattschallenge, you can create a blog post, post on Twitter/Instagram and tag @crozlowcrafts in the posts, or post on my FB page. Don't forget to use the hashtag! The challenge closes end of the weekend (wherever you may be)!

I will edit this post once I have completed my creation and with those who entered the challenge.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Hello hello!

My husband loves to inspire me, and my crafty friends, to step outside the box or our comfort zones. He'll often grab an ink, a punch, a framelit set and stamp and issue "Matts Challenge!". He'd love to extend that challenge to Periscope and left us a post it note with his challenge. 

Here's my scope explaining it all: https://ktch.tv/8yxD

* Cupcake Punch

* Blushing Bride Ink

* Gorgeous Grunge stamp set

* Emboss Folder - any

I will edit this post once I have completed my creation.

Here's my entry for #mattschallenge 

I used the Extra Large Polka Dots TIEF to create the background. The cupcake is stamped with 2 images from Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and mounted on a 2 ½ inch circle that I embossed with Distressed Dots. "Celebrate" is a wooden embellishment that I coloured using Blushing Bride ink mixed with Gesso (video here: https://ktch.tv/8BXW) then coated with clear Wink of Stella. I had to finish the card off with some silver Glitter Tape. 

Here's the video of me finishing this card https://ktch.tv/8B-9
