Use a Fun Fold for a No Color Cardstock Challenge

May 31

Well, this was definitely a challenging challenge!! The challenge was to use only colored cardstock. Absolutely no Basic White or Very Vanilla. I had no idea I always have a piece of Basic White or Very Vanilla somewhere on my card until this challenge. I urge you to take this challenge and see what you create. A great challenge to get you thinking outside your comfort zone!

Below, you'll find a list of products, colors and instructions to create this card. Products used can be purchased through my Stampin' Up! on-line store, unless otherwise stated. You can find my website information under SHOP.
