Title: Warm up Challenge-January 16-21 2016
Post by: CarefreeSadie on January 16, 2016, 04:52:16 PM: Just for fun here is a warm up challenge. Layers and More Layers!

Yes this is exactly what it says, layers on cards. More layers then any card should be made to wear, but it is pretty darn cold here and layers are the way to go.

Pick out 10 pieces of paper, hopefully 10 that go together on the color wheel or accent each other in some way. They do not need to be full sheets, they in fact can be scraps. I pulled out a 6 x 6 tablet and used that because most of the time the entire book of paper should be color coordinated. I pulled out My Minds Eye-Notable. This one has strips and itty bitty journaling cards and all sorts of goodness.

Instructions continued Here (http://www.duhnproductions.com/MainWeb2/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=36:warm-up-challenge-layers-and-more-layers&catid=14&Itemid=119)

You can put any cards from this warm up challenge into the Winterfest 2016 album in the gallery using WF16WUL. Try to have a little fun with this and don't make it too much work.

Post by: CarefreeSadie on January 17, 2016, 03:16:15 PM: Thank you. I am glad there is some interest in a warm up challenge. I didn't know if anyone was interested in one, I was hoping everyone wasn't too busy laying in supplies and rounding up things in preparation for Winterfest.......LOL

Post by: stampwilly on January 17, 2016, 04:41:07 PM: I have been anxiously waiting for Winterfest, so I am glad you posted an early challenge! I made 2 cards for this challenge today. I really do need to use more scraps on my cards. I have so many! I love layering but 10 papers WAS a challenge! LOL!

April ;D

Post by: Utah Ann on January 19, 2016, 04:13:11 PM: Well this has been harder than I thought. I am down to 9 and the 10 piece isn't making itself known. Will post when I find the 10th piece.
Title: Re: Warm up Challenge-January 16-21 2016
Post by: CarefreeSadie on January 19, 2016, 04:24:01 PM: Well if you can't find the 10th piece take a piece of white card stock and ink it to match the other papers.........
Title: Re: Warm up Challenge-January 16-21 2016
Post by: Utah Ann on January 19, 2016, 04:33:26 PM: Ok, here it is. Found the 10th piece, the Lily of the Valley ..

Card: http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?pid=2295&message_id=e12e29d49bda64587398faf8039b8843&message_icon=info#cpgMessageBlock

I scanned and did some contrast - but the color is still not as good as the read thing.

I liked this challenge and may make some more cards like this. Used papers that I hadn't used before from the 6 x 6 stacks.

Post by: Craft Nerd on January 21, 2016, 10:01:37 PM: I actually made 2 cards with the same group of 10 pattern papers. I started making a Valentine's card and then remembered that I needed a birthday card for tomorrow.

Pair of Cards (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?pid=2308&message_id=13ace1d6a5d5363c6a1d29b3963abc20&message_icon=info#cpgMessageBlock)

I took a picture of the papers I picked before starting.

Thanks for a fun warm-up challenge.

Post by: lovepug2 on January 22, 2016, 12:03:37 AM: Rats! I missed this one, I got my papers selected but I ran out of time to get it finished before the deadline.

I think this is a great challenge, Sadie! I've noticed a lot of cardmakers arent using PP much and I miss it!
Title: Re: Warm up Challenge-January 16-21 2016
Post by: howdyheidi on January 22, 2016, 06:10:52 AM: I missed it too. I thought it went through today. I might still make a card today and post it late.

Glad to hear that Sadie 'cause I actually managed to upload my layers (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?pid=2327)!

I had lots of fun tackling this with no pattern paper in my stash (at the time)
