Celebrate Your Creativity by trying something that takes you out of your comfort zone! Try a technique or product or fold/design that you've been shying away from or haven't done/used as often as you would like.
Now, those of you who make regular visits to my little part of the WWW will know that I'm NOT very adventurous, especially with different folds and techniques (stick to what you know, being my motto) but faced with the terror of incurring Ann's wrath (JOKE!) I went for it.
It's probably not something I'd repeat, unless it was for a very special card, but actually it was fairly painless, thanks to this fab tutorial from Leann.
Card Details:
* Image - Crafty Ann's 'Cupcakes'
* Colouring medium - Promarkers
* Papers - Crafty Ann's Polished Brights - Earth 'Light Olive'
* Nestabilities - Scalloped Octagons
* Sentiment - PC generated
* Everything else from my stash
Well, you all seemed to enjoy the last challenge and I certainly enjoyed visiting and seeing your wonderful creations. What a varied selection you provided too, with your food, music and love themes.
Do pop over and check out who the lucky winner is, and don't forget to mark your entries if you'd like to be considered as a guest designer.
Most importantly, just have fun and don't forget you've got 2 weeks until the next challenge, so lots of time to try out all those new techniques!

Your card is lovely Chrissy, the colours complement each other perfectly and the fold looks great. I must give it a try sometime.

I love the colours you've used here Chrissie, this card has a soft, gentle feel to it - and I wouldn't have thought that possible with an image of cupcakes! I've never used this image myself - despite having drawn it and it's because I can never think of what I might use cupcakes for. And then I saw this....I think you've just inspired me out of my comfort zone! Thank you :o)

Beautiful Chrissie - I love your card fold!
Lovely I just Love cupcakes!!... There is a surprise waiting for you on the ABC Christmas blog... you might wanna stop by asap Samantha :0)
Chrissie, I um'd and ah'd about using the cupcake image but wasn't sure so went for the stream!! I know what you mean about sticking to what you know as I can be a bit like that at times. Your card you have made is very beautiful and worth every minute spent on it.
Thank you for allowing me to be a Guest Designer this month. I have really enjoyed it – even if the second challenge well and truly took me out of my comfort zone. It’s been nice to see how everyone else interpreted the challenge and I’ve kept saying “why didn’t I think of that?”. Thanks for the opportunity.
Take care and my best wishes, Kym xxx
Oh, this is so pretty, Chrissie.
Of course it may be the colours that I like best - or maybe the lovely coloured cupcakes - or even the shape - just love it all :-)
