Ok, so yesterday I participated in an event called Stamp-A-Faire from a company called Papertrey Ink (Love them!!!!). It was so incredibly fun but to explain it kinda shortly, the crafty day was based on summer camp that you earned badges with and everything. There were different tutorials and challenges throughout the day along with tons of videos. Out of the 8 different tuts/challenges, I only finished 3, but I'm super happy with 3 that I did get done! Here they are...
This is all 3, looks pretty, uhhh, meager, but what can you do.
With this challenge (Limited Supply), we were given a small amount of supplies that we could use and be as creative as you could. The only items that were permissible to use beyond the given paper, buttons, ribbon and stamp set were inks, glitter and twine.
This challenge (Tie-Dye Techniques) we were given 3 different techniques to create a tie-dye look. I adjusted the first video a bit by stamping an image and embossing it with white embossing powder then sponging on my TH inks, running them together a bit. I then used perfect pearls and sprayed the mess out of it. The colors swirled together and blended creating a similar effect. With Nichole's video, she swirled her ink and took a wet paint brush and swirled her brush through the inks.
This one is the Beaded Friendship Bracelet Challenge. Our SAF kit came with a die to cut those super long triangular strips the you roll up and they make beads (super, super cool). I made a 3-stranded bracelet, however, I misjudged my own wrist so I can't actually wear it myself, though I'm sure I can find someone who will love it!
I had sooo much fun doing this event and will definately be participating in future events.
