DYSU Challenge - Clear, Light Pink and Mauve


Hi Everyone,

It's Thursday, so you know what that means...a new challenge is up over at Do You Stack Up.
Curious what might be the new theme for this week´s challenge?! (yes, I know it´s in the title... :-) ) Ok, here we go: DYSU challenge #13




Surprise us with your wonderful creations using this gorgeous color combination!


Each week, we have wonderful prizes for the random winner.  Today, our lovely DYSU site owner ALISON is rewarding each of our Top 3 picks with 2 (single) images from her awesome Stretch N Bubbles Shop!! Not only today, but with every challenge from today on!  How cool is that?!


This week's wonderful sponsors:
Blackleaf: is giving stamp set "Lantern Stamps"
Stitchy Bear: is giving $10 Gift Voucher (will be good on StitchyStamps, Floppy Latte Designs, and Lexi Creations)
Digis with Attitude: is giving a $10 CAD (Canadian Funds) Gift Certificate for their store



For my card, I went literally with CLEAR and used a transparency for my card base.  They are actually quite sturdy.  I used a bone folder to score and really give a crisp crease to the acetate.  I used the image Lantern 1 from the  Blackleaf Lantern Set.  I colored it with the copics (shown below) and cut it out. I used gold stickles on the top and bottom of the lantern.

 I had the perfect background paper from a DCWV stack named Far East.  It needed a little more pink, so I inked the edges of the paper.  I had this wonderful coin in my stash that made a great embellie.  The sentiment is from Inkadinkado and is gold embossed, although it's hard to tell from the pics.





Please go and check out the super inspirational projects from the Design Team at DYSU.

Have a super day.
Hugs,
Marcy
