Sweet Stampin Challenge ~ Use Something Unusual! & DigiStamp Boutique DT...

 Hi all! Goodness Saturday again, and so time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin!....and a theme chosen by myself this week. I thought it would be fun to 'USE SOMETHING UNUSUAL' on our creations this time. However I think I had us all stumped....including myself! But we all had a good old think and the rest of the DT have some fab examples for you on the challenge blog.

Can you guess what my unusual offering is?? Bet you can't!



Well take a look at the twisted flower, I actually made it from a sterile wound dressing lol!
I added a brad to the middle and spritzed it with glitter spray.

This is also a DT card for the fabulous DigiStamp Boutique. This cute little doggy is called 'Barney & Heart' and you can grab him HERE.
He is definitely up there with Coco in the cuteness stakes!



Other ingredients;
Copic markers,
DCWV All Dressed Up paper,
Craftwork cards 'on the edge' blank,
Wrinkled ribbon (from Really Reasonable Ribbons)
Leone Em branch punch,
Pearls

Hope you will get your thinking caps on and join us with your unusual creations this time. We have a fab prize up for grabs from Tiffany Doodles.

CHALLENGES:
World Play Weekend - puppies
Your Next Stamp Challenge - black, white plus one


Thanks for looking!
