Challenge #134 Highlights!

Thanks for those of you who took the time to play in our challenge last week.  It was decided that you were all winners!

I loved the simplicity of Maxine's project and those splatters!

Karen's bold colors really stood out on this card, fabulously offsetted by the white!

I love Electra's ombre die cuts!

Hazel's technique of turning her project into a puzzle was unique....

Thanks to all of you for playing along on a difficult challenge this week.  Don't forget to grab your badges from the sidebar!

Challenge #134 - Ombre

Hello Everyone! It's another challenge day here at Use Your Stuff.  Our challenge this one is to use the ombre technique.  That means to use varying degrees of a color blending from dark to light or light to dark

ombre: having colors or tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark {source: Merriam Webster}

This might be a challenge for some of you but it's great to work outside of your comfort zone and we are really excited to see what you create with this!


Here are some DT projects to get you started!


Lynne

I love the ombre technique.  

Lately, green seems to be my favorite color to scrap with.  

I hope you like this as much as I do.  

Tammy

This was the first time I've tried this technique and wasn't sure at first what to do, then I realized paint chips!  They are always in an ombre staging so I popped over to the local Home Depot!  I created just a simple card but I think it turned out really well and I hope you like it.

Let's see what you create with this fun technique!

Challenge #133 - Flowers

April showers bring May flowers right?! That's what I am telling myself at least...we have had rain here for the last two weeks! So this week's challenge is inspired by the hope that soon we will have beautiful flowers to look at! I have a weakness for flowers in my scrapbooking and my stash has a ton of different types. On this layout I used up a bunch of tiny flowers!

Lynne

I want to apologize in advance.  I am posting a layout I did many years ago.  

With my daughter getting married in less than a month, my weekends, when I normally scrap, are being taken up with wonderful wedding plans.  

This 6 x 12 layout is something I did of the bride many years ago and it is still one of my favorites.   

Isbaha

I embellished my mini album's cover with a homemade flower. I used the tea bag folding technique.

And with this last project, I will say you good bye. It was an awesome experience and I can't wait to see the next contributors team !

Show us the flowers from your stash!
