February Mystery Box Challenge with Amanda and Liz

Ready for the "February 2012- Mystery Box Challenge"?

Creative team members, Liz and Amanda,  challenge you to invent your own project using mystery box items.

Create a layout OR a card using the following items, and post into the RES gallery by the end of the month for a chance to win a prize.

In your Mystery box this month:

* American Crafts Thickers

* a flourish (of any type - chipboard, bling, hand-stitched)

* brads

* a tag or a ticket

* If creating a layout, use an "OLD"/"older" photo (mine is circa 1991)

* If creating a card, use a Vintage item.

Please note: You may add some staples from your pantry (!!! - ie. ink, stitching, lettering), but please try to stick to the core ingredients as much as possible.

Here are our creations for some RES inspiration:

Liz's card:

In Liz's card you will find: Lily Bee Designs paper, plus:

• flourish with a bling chloe pearl flourish (for the flourish element)
• shipping tag (for the tag/ticket element)
• 2 kaisercraft pearl brads (brad element)
• white American Crafts Rockabye thickers which I've inked (thickers element)
• vintage-looking paper flower from Handmade Halo

Amanda's layout:

Kraft cardstock, combined with Simple Stories (in store now) and pine cone ink and machine stitching.

I made my flourish with brads and bling (labour of love!)

Here's some close ups of the flourish:

Looking forward to what you bake up this month!
