The other night while chatting with Vicki Douglas, Ms. Queen Kat herself from Queen Kat Designs asked me if I was going to enter her contest. I had forgotten about it as I was on vacation when the call was made and I didn't have any stamp supplies with me. So, I still had time and threw in 2 of my favorite cards. I was fortunate enough to make it into the 2nd round so here I go :-)
We were asked to make a card and an altered item. I got my card done and am still thinking on my altered item but hope by the end of the week to have that done.
I picked out Rock Star Anya from The Greeting Farm to practice my coloring on. I've been realizing that I don't have a lot of bold open faced stamps to really do a large amount of coloring with. Don't get me wrong, I love the ones I have to color with, just need to keep in mind when shopping that I might want some larger stamps.
I combined this card with one of QKD sketch challenges and took a few liberties with it. First, I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to the left.. I decided instead of corner rivet I would do a prima with rhinestone but added it to Anya's headband. I also did not do random stamping on my one strip (and the paper is embossed, I can only dream my embossing looks that good!)
Visit the Queen Kat Designs website and give me a shout out and show me some support. You can see all the ladies work who are in the 2nd round here in the Mr. Linky section. I've got tough competition!
