A few more SC CHA Challenge Cards



I was planning to try a few different challenges, but I got sucked into Challenge #4 - to use a kit 2+ months old to create a project.  I went and looked and my old Studio Calico kits and realized that I had never ever used a single bit of my Sock Hop card kit.  Oops.

So, I buckled down and decided to just spend a couple hours with the kit/challenge and see what I could make.  I ended up with three cards, and I still have enough kit to make many more.  I also challenged myself to use only the kit, with the exception of ink/adhesive, and I'm pretty happy with the results.

Of course I had to make sure to get a birthday card in.



This one is a little more modern for me.  I thought about trimming down the green panel so that it's flush with the card, but I like the angles you see, so I kept it as is.



And this was just a little fun with piecing.



Thanks for coming by, have a great Friday and long weekend!

Supplies Used:  Studio Calico Sock Hop Card Kit; Memento - Tuxedo Black Ink; Tombow - Mono Adhesive; Xyron - 1 1/2" Sticker Macker; EKSuccess - Foam Squares; Tim Holtz - Tiny Attacher
