WF15 Impressions Challenge (2/21-3/1)----WINNER ANNOUNCED!
« on: February 20, 2015, 09:26:01 AM »
My challenge is all about impressions.  There is a photo linked below; click the photo to enlarge it

Use keyword: WF15Impressions when uploading the project to the gallery. 

The challenge is to include these 3 impressions on a project: 

1. Make a new project (ATC, card, bookmark, etc) that is your impression of the photo below.  What impressions does the photo have on you?  Does it inspire you through it’s color combination?  Does it remind you of a stamp or patterned paper you have?  etc.

2. Include an impression that is embossed (raised or recessed, either one/both): use at least one dry embossing somewhere on the project—this can be done with embossing folders, by hand with an embossing stylus or another tool, or even with a rubber stamp if you’d like (though if using a stamp, you still will need to stamp a stamp with ink for requirement #3).  What I am looking for is an impression left in the paper itself, thus heat embossing will not qualify for the embossed portion of the challenge, but may be used elsewhere in the project.

3. Use stamping (other than sentiment) with ink somewhere on your project, as this is the final impression of the challenge. 


Leave a comment and a link to your project in this thread. Feel free to ask any questions here on this thread as well.  You may combine my challenge with any of the other challenges that allow combining. 

There will be an RAK for this challenge chosen randomly from the qualified entries. 

Have fun!!   #>


Here is my sample for my challenge: Sample

What a beautiful photo to work with for this challenge.  Except the train should have Alaska RR on the side.  I actually know a location about 100 miles from me where that photo could have been taken. 
I am a little confused with the details of the challenge but I think some sleep will help so I will reread in the morning before I ask any questions.  Thanks for the fun challenge Melissa.

That's funny Jan, I was thinking it looks like a dinner train we took in Colorado!  We rode it in July, though this winter scene is beautiful.
Super challenge.

Jan that is so cool that you may know where this is!

Cindi I too thought of a diner car at one point.   What train was it?  I took the Silverton/Durango train when I was a teenager....really pretty scenery.

Melissa, the train we rode was the Georgetown Loop Railroad. The Loop takes you between Georgetown and Silver Plume, CO.  The train stops on a high bridge over Clear Creek while they serve dinner.

Here is my entry. The picture reminded me of the train ride we took in Caines, Australia in the rain forest. We rode over very high bridges and saw beautiful waterfalls. I remembered I had this train stamp and have never used it! I am always in need of male cards so I made my card for a male. The embossed piece at the bottom was made by inking up my embossing folder with black ink, using burgundy card stock and running it through my machine. It kind of has a leathery look. Thanks for a fun challenge!

I project is still in pieces on my craft desk, but hopefully I'll be able to finally assemble it tomorrow.
