SPRING CROP 2012 - SPRING CLEANING CHALLENGE

SPRING CROP 2012 - SPRING CLEANING CHALLENGE

Postby Sharmaine » Sun Apr 29, 2012 5:00 pm

The last challenge for the crop.
Time to look at the creative mess we have made and thing about cleaning up?? (but not for too long!!)

For this challenge I want you to go through your stash, find something really old and give it new life.
A packet of chipboard? Can you distress, paint, emboss?
A piece of pattern paper? Can you make something new with it, give it a coat of gesso or just cut it?
A brad? Can you cover it, paint it?
A packet of rubons? Can you cut them up and use part of them?
A stamp? Can you use a mask and stamp over the top?
A stencil? Can you ink it, trace it, mist it?

Be inventive, be creative and tell us how you made something old new again.
How many old things can you put onto one creation?
Create a card or a layout and explain what you used and how you made it "new"

I've used some old rub ons, altering them with some glimmer mist (using 2 different techniques), the sticker sheet from some old Scenic Route alpha stickers and an old(ish) tag from 7Gypsies that I layered up with some rub ons.

And the lovely Stephanie made this glorious card

"I started with some old BG paper, then used some really old Making Memories plastic letters as a mask, then finished it off with some old stickers! Everything on here (aside from the ribbon) is at least 3 years old."
How cool, thanks Stephanie :)

This is such a good idea. I have so much "stash" I forget about and need to use.

I love digging in my old products stash.
I used an old 7Gypsies Large Alpha stamp set (forgot how much I love these)!
I used some Magic Mesh in a cream dot.
I used an October Afternoon sticker from the line Thrift Shop.

Here's my take:

here is mine:
I got out the Hambly rubons that I never used and turns out they are melted to the acetate!Guess that is how old they are, LOL, so I actually cut it out and used it. Then I got out my Tim Holtz splatter paint stamp I never use and started to play with that and then thought it would look fun on some Thickers so I used it on them. These Thickers have been well loved because the "r" is the top of an "f" and the "E" is a "3". That's the end of them :)
