Limited Supplies Challenge -- Part 1

Last week I sat down to make a little tag for a gift for a friend. I used some of my scraps (mostly retired), and when I finished, I thought "I wonder how many cards I could make out of these scraps?" I then proceeded to make these three cards in my first session. It was lots of fun and it felt good to be using up some of my scraps!

I challenge you to complete a Limited Supplies Challenge, maybe with your own scraps and/or retired products. I'd love to see what you create!

May Challenge

I'm in Marelle Taylor's team of demonstrators and this month she has set us (and her blog readers) a challenge to make an exact copy of a card from the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue and then make another card using the same layout but with different colours and stamp set/s. And Marelle's favourite creation will win a prize, check out her blog!

This is the card that I copied from pages 10-11, it uses the Trendy Trees stamp set and Bright Delights rub-ons.

Here's a close up of the trees and double scallop with button.

This is the card I made using the same layout but with the Upsy Daisy stamp set and using the colours Tangerine Tango and Sahara Sand. I hope you (and Marelle) like it! The photo isn't blurry, I've stamped the flowers twice to create a shadow (or maybe a funky 3D) effect.

Here's a close up of the flowers, don't look at them for too long, you're eyes will go funny!
