Opus Gluei in Reach Challenge

Good morning Stampers! Happy Thursday! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Today's card is one I made after reading the new challenge at a new blog I found recently called the Order of the Opus Gluei-silly name but super fun! These ladies know how to get their craft on! :)

The challenge is to create something using just what is within reach of your work space and nothing else. I actually learned about the challenge on Monday morning, but I had cleared EVERYTHING off of my work space (insert shocked face here!)before leaving on Friday for my fabulous camping weekend. So I couldn't play until I had created something else and the mess that always goes with my creative process.

I had a made a card for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch and used the Nursery Necessities set to create a baby card for yesterday's post. So the materials I had out I used for today's challenge. I have two family members having baby boys in July so another baby card worked out terrific!


I started out with a Bashful Blue card base, stamped the stars from the Nursery Necessities set randomly in bashful Blue and added a leftover strip of Delicate Dots DSP from the Sale-A-Bration special. I stamped the little chicks in So Saffron and punched them with my 1" Circle Punch and matted them on Certainly Celery punched with my 1 1/4" Circle Punch. The elephant is stamped in Bashful Blue, cut out and layered on a 1 3/8" Square of So Saffron. The final touch is the sentiment stamped in Basic Black. Cute!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Nursery Necessities Paper: Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Delicate Dots DSP Ink: Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Basic Black Accessories: 1" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches, 1 3/8" Square Punch

Need a challenge? Try this one!
Have a super day!
Hugs,
Elizabeth

  1. Cute card. Love the elephant...when my son was small he loved elephants and giraffes, so they always say "baby boy" to me.

  3. What an adorable card! I love the elephant best!

    A clean workspace, what is that???? I just don't understand - you mean, there is a table under all this stuff? That's just crazy talk!
