AWDML Design Team Blog: Rockin' the 80's Challenge #10

Welcome to the final day of challenges here at A Walk Down Memory Lane's Design Team blog! We've had some GREAT challenges issued here by the Design Team, and I hope you'll have time to play along with us. Remember, in order to be eligible for our prize packages you'll need to upload your direct link to your project using the Mr. Linky up above.

To finish off our 80's challenges, I want you to take a trip back to the 80's and remember what the 80's were most famous for...EXCESS! We couldn't get enough stuff in our lives, so we built bigger houses. We couldn't have big enough shoulders, so we wore shoulder pads.

So for our last challenge today, create a card that has to be HAND-DELIVERED because it has too much stuff on it to be mailed! LOL Create a card that has an obscene amount of lumpy-bumpy embellishments or heavy embellishments! Remember, MORE is BETTER! :)

For today's card, I grabbed a bunch of NEW stuff! :) Paper, embellishments, etc are almost exclusively from some of our new CHA shipments. It is also one of the cards we'll be making during our Copic Class today at the store.

First, I started with some Studio Calico papers. The card base is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I inked the edges of the papers with my Tim Holtz Ink Blending tool to soften up the edges a bit.

Next, I layered a Bella Blvd fabric flower. I took apart the layered flower, and colored it in with a Copic marker so it looks a little "marbled". My next layer is the little Fancy Pants tag stamped with a Heidi Grace greeting stamp. I also added in a little Maya Road trinket pin. Next layer is more Studio Calico paper, and some Jenni Bowlin buttons in white. They are popped up with some foam adhesive, and I tied a little bow with some jute. I stamped the Woodware daffodils on our Copic cardstock and colored them in with Copic markers. I stamped them 4 times. I colored three in and added the 4th little flower on pop dots again. The other 3 I fussy cut out, and two of them I layered on pop dots. The middle one I adhered flat, but pop dotted the little extra flower.

Here is a side view to see the layers.
