SAF Red Carpet Challenge

I’m afraid I am not decent enough to wear my bracelet or hold up a card and take a photo of myself. That’s why I love blogging, I can do it in my PJs!

So here is a pic of all my SAF projects. So far anyway. I might try the last one, the Make It Work challenge tomorrow.

Enjoy, Rebecca

SAF Runway Inspired Challenge

Again, Melissa astonishes me with the gorgeous things she comes up with!

The dress she chose with it’s vintage flair and soft colours was perfect. I also loved another dress for this challenge but I couldn’t find any papers to match.

This one was easy to find things for; most of my stash could be used to make a card like this!

SAF Pins and Needles Challenge

I am a huge fan of trinket pins. I love the way Melissa uses them so I was excited for this challenge.

I tucked this one into my bow then bent the rest of the pin with jewelry pliers so it was flush with the back of the tag. I am going to add a backing to the tag later so it is covered up. The green paper is a little heart tag but it’s hard to see with the flower on there.

SAF Unconventional Materials Challenge

Before I tell you what I used, can you guess?

Sorry the card is dark again, I struggle with lighting the pale colours properly!

So, have you guessed???

I used mesh drywall tape on my card then applied drywall paste over top. Before applying the paste, I tinted it with Copic refill in 4 different shades. I overlapped them for an ombre effect. Then I removed the tape. It worked really well especially since the drywall tape has built in adhesive!

I also used a washer that I covered in gold paint pen under the flower. This card features the thread nests I mentioned earlier. I had to use  lot for it to stick out from under such a large panel. But I LOVE how it turned out.

The washers were about 75c each and the drywall tape was $4. I have no idea how much the drywall paste was because we already had it on hand, but since I only used a teensy bit, it wouldn’t have been worth more than a few cents.

SAF Mix n Match Challenge

This one was a breeze for me. I use lots of patterned papers together all the time!

I kept it very simple this time and copied one of the sketched used in the video. I was running low on time and it saved me thinking about what to make.
