Krafty Chicks Challenge #670: AnyThing Goes (ATG)

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

I can't believe we are at the end of June, half the year has gone by already. In my neck of the woods, it's Stampede time. Our small town is hustling and bustling with over 30,000 people coming for the largest outdoor Canadian pro rodeo. One week filled with chuckwagon racing, bareback riding, saddle bronc, team roping, ladies barrel racing, bull riding and so much more. There's even an amusement park to entertain children of all ages, a parade, fireworks and concerts every night. Let's just say: it's a loud, fun, busy time.

This week on the Krafty Chicks Challenge blog, it's Anything Goes week. One of the easiest challenges because you can have any theme you like. It can be a card, (fancy fold even), a treat package, home decor, or a scrapbook page. Literally Anything Goes!

Here's my project:

I didn't think I would have time to create a whole new card, I was just going  to "borrow" one of the cards from a rescheduled Card Class. But then I saw the CASE-ing Tuesday sketch this week and a quick and easy card idea popped in my head. Here's the sketch:

I went with a full card instead of a Note Card. And for the background matte layer, I used a blending brush with Lost Lagoon ink, then added the bouquet flower die and two sentiments.


I could have used white embossing powder but I really wanted to keep it quick and simple. And though it may be difficult to read the sentiments, that is not the case in person. This close-up shows up a bit better.

I always like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple. This time a little card stock strip and some light blended colour so that you will still be able to see the writing.

 Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for All Occasions week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.
