Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter J. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as her J element will be featured in her post.
If you have just hopped onto my blog, please start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy
If you came from Shalana's blog then you're on the right track!
SO ... Awhile ago there was a challenge blog that used just ONE color ... JUNIPER. It doesn't sound like a challenge, but it was trickier than three colors. You can see it right here ... One Color Color Dare. I saved photos of the process for this ABC adventure.
First of all ... I made 25 cards at one time with Juniper. Overall I loved the result even though it seemed really difficult at first. Some of my favorite cards are at the end of this post (don't worry, I won't make you look at all 25!!!).
FIRST ... I took out all of the Juniper paper scraps I had on hand. All of pieces were sorted by size. From there everything was matched up with the largest pieces being used first to come up with a wide variety of card bases ... which were also sorted once they were finished. You'll see a few "cheaters" according to the Color Dare rules, but I just couldn't leave some of the pretty pieces turned over.
Once I was finished there were this many scraps left over. AND I threw them all away. Here's the evidence!!! Since I'm not well known for throwing things away I'm putting it here for everyone to see. If I didn't think you'd believe me I'd put a picture of them in the even larger garbage!!

OK ... back to the fun part. Once I had all of the finished card bases I took out a bunch of leftover embellishements and a couple of stamp sets.
AND ta da ..... 25 finished cards. You'll see a few of my favorites below. You'll notice that I really couldn't stick to just one color most of the time!!

ReplyDeleteAwesome!! You always amaze me! TFS
ReplyDeleteAnd to think I was ecstatic about actually making TWO at once yesterday! LOL!!! You not only succeeded in quantity, but quality as well...these are each so unique with the different embellishments. I always love the tidbits you add to your cards. Home run, Shelly! :)
