DCC1026 ~ Recipe Challenge

Designer's Choice Challenge

Oct 262011

Nope… put away those measuring spoons and mixing bowls because it’s not that kind of recipe! 😀 It’s a card making recipe. Today’s Designer’s Choice Challenge is fun and a little different. This time Repeat Rock Star, Lynette Neus is challenging you all to create a card based on her “recipe”. She wants you to use 1 image and 1 sentiment, 2 die cuts and 3 embellishments. (The die cuts can be Spellbinders, etc.)

Here’s the wonderful card Lynette created to get us started!

So a few days ago Lynette shared this inspiration card with her fellow Rock Stars and asked them to create their own cards based on her recipe. Check out all the spectacular cards they came up with!
