Title: AIR15 - Sentimentally Yours - WINNER ANNOUNCED
Post by: Craft Nerd on May 29, 2015, 09:21:13 PM
I've got a ton of sentiment stamps and I seldom use them.  So I want you guys to give me some inspiration for using my sentiment stamps.

Requirements: Create a project using at least 1 sentiment stamp.  If you use more than one, I'll put your name in the hat a second time for the RAK. 

You do not have to use an image stamp on this project, but you can if you want.

Your project can be anything - ATC, card, Inchie, tag, scrapbook page, whatever floats your boat.

Be sure to link your project to this thread, or I might miss it.  If you remember, include AIR15 SY as a label and in the title of your piece. 

There will be a drawing for RAK.  Your name will go in the hat for each project you enter and if you work in more than one sentiment stamp on a single project, your name will go in an extra time.

Combining challenges: But of course.

Deadline: You have until midnight your local time on Sunday June 7 to post your project.

Examples:

I think that covers it.  But feel free to ask any questions here.

I am like you, I do not use sentiments much at all on the outside of my cards. This will be a good challenge for me!

Cool! I brought some sentiments with me & my friend's stash has several, too. This'll be FUN! TY, Sarah!

Sarah, what are the two dots on either side of your sentiment? are they bling or dots or apart of the stamp itself?
Title: Re: AIR15 - Sentimentally Yours
Post by: Craft Nerd on June 01, 2015, 10:03:57 AM
They are bling - pale grey gems.  Sorry for forgetting to include that in the description.

Here is the tag I made for this challenge. I combined it with Heidi'sPaint It challenge. I used 4 word/sentiment stamps from the same set

Here's my combo card: Just Heard card (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?pid=1628&message_id=1fc3062a7fa3346d02cf66b38868e5a1&message_icon=info#cpgMessageBlock)

I did a combo with Connie's digital stamp challenge.  I have not ever used this sentiment stamp (along with a few others in that Inkadinkado set).  I really want to start using more sentiments, so I am really glad  you had this challenge Sarah!  Thank you for hosting!

When I read the challenge this stamp came to mind right away and it was a good excuse to finally use it :)

Sarah-I have posted a card for your challenge.  Sometimes we truly have to plan where we are going to place a sentiment.  The background I used is truly one of those.  I used three background stamps so I left an open space.  I turned the script stamp sideways so to give more emphasis to the sentiment as well as color the background behind the sentiment a different color and finally I embossed the image.  Sometimes these extras can overpower and make the sentiment become more dominant than the focal point.  Here I feel I reached a good balance with the detailed background. Thanks for the challenge!

I went very 'traditional' with my use of sentiments. And for good measure I made a dual duty card. Thank you Sarah for the assist! :smitten:

Sorry it has taken me so long.  I had one heck of a Monday.  I used a random number generator to pick the winner, and the man of the hours is Daniel.  I've got your new address around here somewhere and will get you RAK out to some time this week. 

Thanks everyone for playing.
