Hence today's post is all about the challenge & my inspirations for it..... And with the ICRC9 being extended for another fortnight, I feel comfortable posting my much delayed post.... :D
On ICR, ICRC9 went live on the 16th of August.... And the month of August welcomes several celebrations...... And that paved the way for the challenge ICRC9!
ICRC9 is CELEBRATIONS + No Digi/Rubber Stamping Except for Sentiment!!!
And below are my inspirations for the same.... Yes! ARE...... With little time on hand, I had to cook up some creation that portrayed the theme.... Hence made one at ease..... I loved the colors so so much that I had to attempt one, but after sometime I kinda started disliking it... Couldn't figure out why! :O
Challenges it goes to :
Moxie Fab World for Tuesday Trigger.....
Crazy 4 Challenges for Bingo! [2nd column - Embossing, Die Cuts & Ribbon]
Papertakeweekly for Die Cuts.....
All Sorts Challenge for Being Framed.....
ICR for ICRC9....
Prep:
Cream CS for the base & layers, from Fabriano.... And embossed the layer with vintage wallpaper from SU!
Distressed the embossed BG with chalk ink & wallnut stain distress ink.....
Black CS for layer & frame.....
Used the Letterpress Technique with impressabilities on the black CS.....
Later cut the CS with nestability scalloped circle dies... {used 2nd & 4th size together for the frame}
Used the fancy die cut to embellish the scalloped circle frame, and secured it with brads on either side....
Ribbon in black with golden lines form the stash....
Used a chipboard flourish which was a RAK from B.....
Sentiment is from PTI- Round & Round stamp set.....
Finished the project with some paper roses & gemstones......
Since I wasn't happy with the one I made above, I resorted to another one in a jiffy.... I sat up that night to work on this creation amidst all packing that had to be done..... I had to basically clear my craft room mess, with all the stamps used, lying around inked & messy!
Once I reached Ranchi, based on the opinions of my family, I opted for the first one to go live as an inspiration with the challenge.... :O Pheww!!!!
NOTE :
Since it is a Celebration challenge marking a small milestone of crossing 100 members & 1000 photographs at ICR, & the sponsored candy is really big, we thought it better for the challenge ICRC9 to be extended for another fortnight!!!
So pull up your socks for a celebration bash!!! Do join us at ICRC9!!!
That is it for now.... Will be back with some miscellaneous stuffs soon... :D
