oh Yeah! I love a good challenge! About a week ago, I issued a challenge to the rest of the Molly Stamps DT to all use the same stamp image so we could see how different everyones ideas were. We decided on the sun image from Post Office set and then I proceeded to forget about my own challenge. duh! LOL!

This weekend brought some down time and I was able to whip up two cards for the challenge. I challenged myself a bit more to use the sun image as anything other than a sun. Heres what I came up with....



I have to apologize for the sentiment on the card. I really was not meaning for it to be cocky, but more a card for a rebellious teen to give another rebellious teen, ie. the purple hair. Clear Dollar Stamps has a challenge to use purple in your card, so that would be the reason for all that purple in the card. I freely stitched on a piece of pattern paper and used that as the background paper. I stamped the sun twice, cut out the rays (or spiky hair), colored them purple and layered them behind the smirky face from Todays Forecast.

Now for my next card, I had this idea in my head that I wanted to be able to create a flower out of the image. See the only problem with that is that the sun image is only half a sun with lettering around it. With a bit of creative masking I was able to stamp the sun image twice to create the flower. I drew some grass and clouds on pattern paper and cut them out. The sentiments are from the Todays Forecast set and I just added the boxes in with pen. The check mark was a rubon letter l that I cut and rearranged.



Here is a closeup of the sun, I mean flower...
