Out of the Comfort Zone - DCM

I finally had a chance to tackle this week's daring cardmaker challenge, which was to get out of the comfort zone. Looking at the cards that I've been making recently, I noticed that I've been using embossing folders and die cuts quite often. I've been using patterned and textured papers. I've been leaning toward collage and Asian type art. I decided to go back and make a card using an image that was simply stamped and colored with colored pencils. Here's that card....


This is a Fluffles stamp by Stampendous that I colored using Prismacolor colored pencils and a blender pencil. By the way, I made two of these images. I received a Lyra splender blender yesterday and I wanted to see if I could tell any difference between it and the Prismacolor. Nope. The results were similar. The sentiment is by Hampton Arts. I embellished with eyelets and a Fastenator staple--I hadn't used either of those in ages.

You know, this was a fun change of pace. :-) It also gave me a chance to feel in the mood for spring!
