More THREE challenge entries!

Hello stampers!

I have lots of new loveliness to share today!

First we have this card that was sent in by Vicky Fernando:



Vicky says:

"The three colours I chose to play with were turquoise, brown and white".

"I started by cutting a piece of turquoise coloured card 6"x4" and I decided to use a couple of Crafter's Workshop 6x6 templates/stencils (Mini Harlequin and Mini Numbers Collage), and some white acrylic paint to create my background. I then sponged some Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges, and added some crackle medium to the top edges, letting it drip randomly. When this was all dry I added the three Stampotique images which I had stamped with the same ink and mounted with foam tape". 



"The letter stickers are Carolee's in Chocolate brown, and the number 3 is a Collections chipboard piece painted with brown acrylic paint and covered with crackle medium. I also used a bit of brown ribbon".

Terrific work Vicky!

Next we have a card that was created by Lizzy Hill:


Lizzy says:

"It took a whole heap of thinking, but once I'd worked out what to do, it came together really quickly. You had to think ahead, 'cos you couldn't just keep adding stuff 'til it looked right!!! I was really pleased that I'd used lime green ink ['Stampin' Up'] for the Pensive Phillip background stamp (Queen's Dresser Drawers) as it was a bit different from the usual vintage colours". 

"The other 2 stamps (which I masked before putting Philip in the background) are from Stampin' Up's Birthday Set, & the number 3 is in there too (Stazon black ink, with the 14 embossed with Versamark & black embossing powder)".

Very cool Lizzy!!

Next up we have an ATC that was created by Marjie Kemper from the USA:


Marjie says:

"It was hard to stick to three colors and to find a way to use the number, which I thought would be really easy! The mailman delivered some new stamps yesterday and one was a numbered list.... ta da! One problem solved. So the whole "rules to live by" is one stamp (Studio 490 by Wendy Vecchi), and the other two stamps are the different borders. Distress ink colors are mustard seed, wild honey and black soot".

Nice work Marjie!

And last but not least for today is this card by Gerda Weiland from The Netherlands:


Gerda says:

"I used White cardstock and stamped & Coloured with Black & Lake Mist. Found brads in the same colour. Used 3 stamps from Teesha Moore - the city, the bubbles and the sign 23-A".

Lovely work Gerda!

So great to see so many of you giving this challenge a go, even though you found it difficult!

If you haven't yet given it a go, there's still plenty of time left to send me in an entry - so get out those stamps and get inky. :)
