March Stamp Club - The Challenge Card

Hi there,
Glad you stopped in today
Tuesday nite was the monthly stamp club meeting
We make 2 cards each month - a theme card and a challenge card.
Yesterday I shared my Theme Card. Click here if you missed it.

Today I want to share my challenge card.
Each month we are given something to use on our challenge card and the finished project is due to be presented at the next meeting. At the February meeting we were given a sheet of poster stickers to use on our card/project for the March meeting.


There are 3 strips on this sheet and they are about 16" long and 2" wide.
The strips are precut, wavy on one side and straight on the other side. 

I used the strip kind of like Washi tape.
But I applied the sticker to card stock to make it easier to work with for this project.
I trimmed away the card stock on the the wavy side to match the sticker.
Since the stickers were too wide for my project, I trimmed on the straight side so the sticker would be abou 1" wide and  4 3/4" long. 
I used 2 strips, added a few other items and here is the finished card.




I added texture using embossing folders and a die cut for additional interest. 
Next the sentiment was the finishing piece.


SUPPLIES I USED ON MY PROJECT
Paper/Card Stock: White CS, Pink CS
Dies Used: Sizzix - Tim Holtz thinlits-  friend set; Memory Box- Lavish Branch (old)
AccessoriesPeel and Stick Poster Stickers (from Dollar Tree), Alcohol Markers (to color branch), Embossing folders, Art Institute Glitter Glue (My fav)
