A Place to Start - October 2019 - Create Your Own Challenge

Welcome to our October Challenge at A Place to Start. We have the fun option to Create Your Own Challenge using this chart:


You must use at least 1 item from each column.
A good self-challenge would be to use as many items as possible from each column.
Please list the items used.





I had fun making this card. It's for my sister's birthday next month. I'm fine posting it because she doesn't look at my blog.



Column 1:  Image, Sentiment, Patterned Paper, Solid Paper;
Column 2:  Die, Dry Embossing;
Column 3:  Embossing Powder
Column 4:  Bling
Column 5:  Stitching (Faux)

613 Avenue Create #226 - Anything Goes Option Spotlight Technique

Hi, ya'll!  At 613 Avenue Create we have a fun option for our Anything Goes Challenge this month.  We'd like to see you use the Spotlight Technique in your entry.  I haven't done this in a long time so I really enjoyed giving it a go.  When I've done it before, I popped up the spotlight area.  This time I did not.  I simply colored the spotlight area so the card front is completely flat. Take a look:


After coloring in the images, I colored a circle around them.  Then I added a few sequins and a sentiment.  This card will go to our granddaughter at some point in time.

We'hope you decide to give this technique a try. Pop over to the blog to see the other DT designs. And you'll want to see who won last month's challenge!  Have a good day.

Thanks for visiting!
