S-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g Myself!

My title sounds like I am exercising doesn't it? You should know I wouldn't do that.......

The Limited Supplies Challenge this week is to use two or more things on your card that are a "stretch" - or difficult and different for you to do!

The Ways to Use It Challenge is to use fabric on your card, so I am combining the two challenges!




Well, my "stretch" is definitely using (or not using) white space! And my other stretch is using purple - I am NOT a purple lover so I thought I better use it today, so I don't have to use it again!! lol!

I used one of my yo-yo flowers (made of fabric, that I absolutely love and I made at my on-line embellishment class with Tania Willis at Get It Scrapped!

I also used PURPLE as in Plum Pudding satin ribbon from Papertrey Ink and attached the yo-yo flower by tacking it down over top of the PURPLE bow.

When I was at Marcie's house playing looking after my grandbabies, I was able to sneak out her Stamping Up Top Note die that I got online (LUV that!) for her for Christmas, and play with it (sporadically). I cut out a bunch of the dies so I would have them for future use - like right now!

I only used half of the top note die cut so that I would be able to show white space - that is a S-T-R-E-T-C-H for me! and I ran it through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder before adhering it to the Stamper's Select white card base.

I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Deep Lagoon - I have had that stamp pad for two years and it is still wet and juicy - yay! The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's stamp set Heart Prints, that I just got yesterday and I love it already!

Here is a close up of that sweet little yo yo! Oh. sorry. You thought it was going to be my hubby didn't you! ROFL!! (good thing he is away for a few days.......)
