Inked & Opened: July Challenge!

There's a new Challenge happening on our Seriously Creative Challenge Blog today, and I think it's gonna be a fun and easy one to play along with!  We all have stuff in our stash that is sitting waiting to be inked, cut or opened... makes ya feel kinda sad for them, right? All they want is to be used and to help you create something fabulous, so pull em out (or buy something new if you must!) and USE those babies!  Then show us what you made and tell us what was new that you tried :)

Here's the first project I have to share with you (I'll be back with more through the month, I guarantee it!) and this one is actually a joint effort between Mom & I :)

UN-INKED: new stamps from Impression Obsession, bow charm that we painted with Patina paints & glaze (super fun!)
UN-OPENED: washi tape from Cosmo Cricket

My background was made with the new Summer Distress Inks and a Brushed Corduroy wood grain (IO) over them & the bird was coloured with Distress Markers.  The tag was splattered when I cleaned a stamp... held it beside my stamp and sprayed with water for a fun mist of colour!

Join us over at the Seriously Creative Challenge Blog and show us what you come up with!  Full details on the challenge (including the prize) are there as well :)
