Weekly Challenge | Stamps and Transparent Pieces
This week, our member Jil (username JilC), is challenging you to get creative with stamps and those Fairground transparent pieces! Our members are so talented and we love seeing your work in the gallery! Check back each week as we ask one of our members to inspire you with a challenge based on one of their projects from our member gallery. Be sure visit Jil to see more of her work and keep up with her.
Hello, everyone! I’m excited to be here sharing this week’s challenge. My scrapbook page, “Life with Hazel is a Circus,” could serve as a springboard for a few different challenges, so feel free to choose the one that sounds like the most fun to you. What came to mind first for me was the challenge of stamping on kraft cardstock. Black ink or white embossing really pop on kraft, while colors look muted and vintage, and I enjoyed creating the title work of this layout by stamping in both black and color. The challenge I was responding to was to use three alphabet stamps, so that’s another possibility. If you’re not a stamper, your challenge could be to use the delightful transparent shapes in the Fairground kit. The circus analogy was perfect for me because my young corgi is such a character, brimming with playful energy.
I can’t wait to see what this page sparks for you, or how it inspires you to try something new.
Now it’s your turn to create a project based on Jil's challenge! Share your new project for the challenge in the SC gallery (add the hashtag #SCchallenge to make it easier to find!), then link up your project in the comments of this post by July 26th and to be entered to win a $5 gift card to the Studio Calico Shop! This week's challenge winner will be announced in the August 1st Layout of the Week post.
I especially love the stamping and the double stamping on Hazel.

My take on the challenge. I probably wouldn't have used the transparencies otherwise. Thanks for the challenge!
