Update (4/21/2009): I won!!! I won the Pink Elephant Challenge #10. Yipee!!!

I created this scrapbook layout for the Pink Elephant Challenge #10 (Color Challenge: Pink, Green and Yellow).

Patterned paper & Chipsticker: BasicGrey;
Stamps: Stampington Zoology 101; CTMH (alphas);
Buttons & pin: Fancy Pants Design;
Inks: Brilliance;
Stickers: Making Memories;
Stampin’ Up! Write Markers; SU! Glassy Glaze Enamel; Rangers fine detail embossing powder (black);

The beast image is from the Stampington Zoology 101 set, the Un-Usual Suspects by Marylinn Kelly.

I stamped the image on a shimmery/pearly cardstock. I was going to use the pink one, but decided to ink it in black, and as soon as I stamped with the Brilliance black pigment ink, I decided to coat it with black embossing powder. So, I quickly unwrapped a new black embossing powder, put it in a container, and sprinkled on my cardstock without first applying the anti-static pad. I got black splashes everywhere. Thank goodness it was for the beast.

I used Stampin’ Up! markers to color the beast. I didn’t realize it was still wet when I was cutting it. My thumb prints smeared everywhere and I thought it was a cool effect. =)
I applied Stampin’ Up! Glassy Glaze Enamel embossing powder over the beast to prevent the markers from smudging. When I was heat setting the SU! glaze, Ranger’s black embossing powder was melting/puddling, too. Another unplanned cool effect, heehee.

Okay, I’m commenting here, because I don’t know where to begin. I just found your blog by clicking from your link on SCS. I don’t know how I haven’t found your blog before this. So far, what I’ve seen is fabulous. You have the perfect mix of projects, fun stuff, tutorials…and everything is so bright and fun. I’m adding you to my favorites right now. Can’t wait to make my way through all your older posts.
