Open House Artwork - Part 4

I am so excited to share these cards with you (I LOVE circle cards)! I worked on three different bonus Workshop on the Go projects...and I didn't even have the kits! I just fell in love with the projects, so I completed them with the supplies that I had. For the set that I will be showing you today, I had the paper, but not the exclusive stamp set that comes with the Workshop on the Go - nor the Chocolate-striped ribbon...so I improvised! I think they came out pretty darn good, but I'll let you be the judge!

Each of these cards uses the White Daisy Circle Cards and the "Dreamin'" Paper Pack. The leaves are from the "Harvest Happiness" stamp set, and "Just For You" is from the "December 25th" stamp set. I simulated the Chocolate-striped ribbon with lines drawn with Chocolate marker on cardstock.

This card uses the "Blue Ribbon" stamp set ("Happy Day"), along with Mocha Opaques and the Cocoa Designer Ribbon Collection.

Again, the striped ribbon has been replaced by striped cardstock on this card. "Harvest Happiness" was the stamp set used, only this time, I cut out a couple of acorns and adhered them with 3-D foam tape. In addition, I went back with Glitz Glitter Gel (Stardust) to accent the stamped images.

This one is fun! I just love circles! They make everything seem so playful. The "100% Awesome" is from the "Blue Ribbon" stamp set. The blue strip is one of the zip-strip borders now found on all of CTMH's patterned paper. Again, I made my own "ribbon", only this time I inked it up, because the white lines were just too bright for me on this card.

Lastly, this card uses the "Love Life" stamp set ("simple pleasures") along with "Harvest Happiness". There are also Mocha Opaques in the lower-right corner. This card also utilizes one of the zip-strip borders now found on CTMH's patterned paper.

It was such fun creating these cards - especially trying to find ways to make them look like the originals featured in the bonus project, without having the materials that were originally used. Don't feel like you can't create a project if you don't have exactly what is called for - find ways to use what you have! Not only will you stir those creative juices, but you might just use some of those unused products as well! More "adjusted" Workshop on the Go Bonus Projects next time!
