Today’s Limited Supply Challenge was a long list of what to do and not. Usually those are too restricting for me, but I have to keep my challenge streak going. Today is the 8th challenge in a row. I know it’s silly, but I am excited about that.
Here is what you could use:
1.) one or two neglegted stamp sets
2.) Old Sketch Challenge
3.) Old Color Challenge
4.) one or two embellishment, especially products that you have been hoarding
5.) Any Tools
I kinda knew right away I wanted to use the Turtle from Silly Sealife. It took me a while to settle on an older sketch. Finally I picked SC86:
Next I was looking for the color combo. It took longer then the sketch, since I was determined to use the Wintergreen Designer paper. I finally found one. You might have heard my happy shout all the way to whereever you live. I picked CC86: Always Artichoke, Creamy Caramel and Sage Shadow
I started my card with a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Creamy Caramel Cardstock. Next followed a 3 3/4″ x 4 1/2″ piece of Always Artchoke cardstock that was topped with a 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Wintergreen Designer paper. I stamped the Faux Stitching with my All in a Row Argyle stamp. That stamp is definitely NOT neglected by me. LOL. The Chocolate Chip layer measures 2 5/8″ x 4 1/4″ and the Wintergreen designer paper that tops it 2 3/8″ x 4″.
For accents I used the medium size twill, frayed the bottom and secured it with two Jumbo Brass Eyelets.
The main image is stamped with Brown Stazon on a 1 3/4″ x 1 7/8″ Shimmery White cardstock and layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. Again I used the Argyle stamp for my Faux Stitching. Then I colored in the image with Creamy Caramel, Sage Shadow, Always Artichoke and Chocolate Chip Watercolor crayons and aqua painter. I hadn’t watercolored with them for so long, I forgot that I really like to do that!. Last I added one more layer of Creamy Caramel underneath and adhered it to the main card with dimensionals.
The saying is from the Hostess Level 1 set: So many Sayings. I had it unmounted just sitting here for a while. I knew I would never use it if I mounted it. Then I saw Charmaine to use EZ Mount with it (gasp). I never unmount SU stamps, but boy….does that ever work for this set. So I put a brave face on, pulled the rubber from the foam, added EZ mount behind it and cut it out.
I already used it on two cards now. The second one is my favorite card I made with this weekend’s sketch challenge. I will post it tomorrow!
Have a great day! Hugs and smiles

Such a great card Beate!
Adorable turtle card, B — love that saying with him! I’m SO unmounting this hostess set, too, that just arrived yesterday! Love how you used the jumbo eyelets on the twill!
I love the color combo for this card. The twill & jumbo eyelets are perfect embellishments!
Oh what a fabulous idea with the easy mount!! I may have to go unmount mine!!!! GREAT CALL CHARMAINE!!! Beate I love this!! I love when you use All in a Row!!
This is so darling! I love how you colored the little turtle! Great color choices, faux stitching, and I love the jumbo eyelets!
This is so cute! I love the colors and the sketch you chose.
Totally cute! Those rivets in the twill look so great. And I have always loved that turtle.
This is a fabulous layout, I love what you’ve done with it. Those colors are yummy!!
I’m flabbergasted with the EZ Mount stamps, what a sensational idea, I can’t wait to do this. TFS, TFS, TFS.
Really cute card Beate, and what a great idea with that so many saying set.
love the card. That layout is great will have to try it. Also, now I wish I had ordered So Many Sayings yesterday. It is my third order with Level 1 hostess benefits and I couldn’t decide. I liked all the sayings but knew I would never use them the way they are. (Sigh) Guess I know what I’ll be getting next time I qualify for bennies. That is a great way to insure I’ll use it. I will be nervous, too, since I never unmount my stamps either. so what did you do with the wood blocks?
