Challenge #10 UnstampaBelles

Challenge #10 for UnstampaBelles is up and running - boy of boy, where is the time going?


Theme is Colours of your Country's flag
with a bonus technique Shaped Card not square/rectangle


This challenge closes Friday, 4th May 2012 and Winners announced Monday, 7th May 2012 - Remember we are working on Aussie Time.


Here is a quick recap of the rules:


No Stamps! This means no rubber stamps, no digital stamps, clipart or line art which includes pre-coloured versions. Inclusive of sentiment stamps.


You may think this will be difficult, but here are some suggestions on what you CAN use:
3D papertole, decoupage, quilling, iris folding, stitching, beading, origami, fancy folds, cutting machines (e.g. craftrobo/silhouette, cricut), paper punches, canvases, stickers, rub-ons, parchment, etc.......




Due to graphic technology any entry with a graphic image will be subject to the Design Teams' discretion and we will contact you if we feel the entry does not meet the ethos of our challenge blog.




A technique challenge will be included as a bonus.  This will not be a requirement for an entry but if you do use the nominated technique in your project, it will count as two entries for you.

Our sponsor for April is Sticker Store - my go to shop for most of my sticker requirements.

Now for my DT entry.

My nephew is celebrating his 16th Birthday next week - now just where did THAT 16 years go?  next he will want to be learning to drive ;-)


Since the theme is a shaped card, I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but encountered problems with my CraftROBO.  I stuck with it and got a card produced, not without wasting an awful lot of cardstock ;-((  Blue, Red & White  the colours of the Australian flag.


Another clean and simple card - not too fussy or girly for a 16 year old boy.

Card designed and cut using CraftROBO.  Cardstock from Blue Edge Crafts.
