Stampin'B's Challenge - No Stampin'

Vicky Gould was the hostess of the Stampin'B's DT Challenge this week. Her challenge was to make a tall card, with no stamping. We could use any kind of die cut or whatever that we liked.

I found this challenge quite interesting. I recently received a set of Spellbinders Daisy Head dies from a friend and decided they would work well on a tall card. After cutting them out, I used a sponge dauber and Pumpkin Pie ink to highlight the embossed portions of the flowers. Because the card is tall, I was able to use my Long Rectangular nesties to cut the panel behind the flowers and Sizzix leaves, which were cut from Always Artichoke cs. I sponged the background of the vanilla panel using a sea sponge and Always Artichoke ink. I like the way the sea sponge looks -- with a varigated pattern. The sentiment on the oval panel was cut with a Cuttlebug Olivia alphabet die from the same DCWV DP as the border down the side, which is punched with a Martha Stewart lacey border punch.
