It really was a challenge

I guess I don't have it in me today...I took a look at todays Limited Supplies Challenge and knew it was going to be a problem.  Here are the stipulations: you can only use 1 stamp set for your entire card, you couldn't use patterned paper...you had to make it with stamps in the one stamp set, you could only use ribbon and brads, and you couldn't use die cut machines unless it was for your sentiment.  Wow, now that is a challenge indeed! 

The card I made, I went back to a gazillion times today and finally finished it at 9:30 tonight.  I am not that happy with it either.  Oh well, tomorrow is another day.  So here is my card.

  Supplies used are SU unless otherwise noted.

Stamps: Live like you mean it (hostess-retired)

Paper: certainly celery, regal rose, tempting turqouise, whisper white

Ink: chocolate chip, certainly celery/ so saffron/ tempting turqouise markers, white gel pen

Accessories: regal rose 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, white brads- basic grey, green rhinestone brads- dollarama, martha stewart glitter- turquoise, aquamarine crystal and kunzite, mat pack-paper piercing, quickie glue pen

I stamped the flower, which was colored with markers, onto white.  I then used the glue pen and glitter to jazz it up a bit.  I matted on celery and paper pierced the edges.  For the "patterne" paper, I stamped the flower in chocolate used the gel pen to pop it a bit.  The ribbon was added under the image, then the sentiment stamped in chocolate.  I added the white brads as it looked too plain.  Last I added the rhinestone brads.

Have a good weekend :)

I like how your card turned out. I could NEVER be so limited in my use of supplies and pull it off.Good job.

I think the card looks great! I am not a fan of the rhinestone brads though, they are a little big for the flower. I do love the colors that you chose.
