Are you ready for another challenge??? If you are, our November challenge is here and like the November kit, it's slightly different this month :)
As the November kit is full of lots of different shades of cardstock, our challenge this month is to create a LO without using any patterned paper whatsoever and which uses at least 3 different coloured cardstocks. You can alter your cardstock in any way you like to create different effects - sand it, ink it, tear it, emboss it, stamp or sew on it and we'd like you use at least one technique to alter your cardstock in some way.
We've included a sketch that you can use for inspiration if you would like to, but this month you don't have to use the sketch as part of the challenge requirements, so totally upto you if you use it or not.
Here is the sketch for those that would like to use it:
and here is my LO completed for the challenge:
I used beige, cream, brown and green cardstock which I altered by inking, crumpling, tearing and embossing using a embossing folder. I also had fun playing with canvas photo paper and used this to both print my picture out and to create the blocks on my LO. I cut the canvas into rectangles, frayed the edges and then sprayed with pink, green and beige glimmer mists. When dry I then stamped the script over the top. To finish, I used lace, blooms and die cuts included in previous Indigo Mill kits.
I also used safmat for the countdown to christmas clock. The numbers on the dial are printed on to safmat and then applied to the chipboard.

And this LO that I did just before the CC (since we're on the matter) also has safmat. I printed the word Balquhidder on to it and you really can't see the joins. I've since made the 'b' in to a capital by using a permanent pen on the safmat- doh!
