STAMPOTIQUE DESIGNERS' CHALLENGE 134: PERFECT PAIRS!

A happy day to each of you!  Wednesday is pretty much my favorite day of the week...okay, it's also the day the new Stampotique Designers' Challenge is posted.  Could that just be a happy coincidence?   Kathi Rerek is our crafty hostess this week, and here's what she has to say:
It's almost Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day makes me think of couples, so my challenge is called Perfect Pairs.  Use two (2) of an item so that things are in pairs. This can be two stamped images, two embellishments, two layers of patterned paper, two colors, etc.  See how many pairs you can use in your project. Just be sure to use at least one perfect pair and have fun!
I have to tell you that the moment I saw this fun challenge, I knew what I would do.  Of course, I think my husband and I are a perfect pair.  My husband and our dog also make a perfect pair.  But, it is my sister Sandy and I who really *are* a perfect pair.  We pretty much look alike.  We often think alike. And we love many of the same things, like Scrabble and birds! But, it is kind of funny that the thing we don't share, my love of card games, is the very element I chose for my tag today!



I have used two of Stampotique Originals' stamps today, Pigtails as Queen of Diamonds and Girl with Heart Purse as Queen of Hearts.  They certainly are not identical, but you must admit that they do look like sisters!

I hope you will join me in creating something for the Stampotique Designers' Challenge each week.  The use of Stampotique Originals' stamps is not required.  You can use any rubber or clear stamps (no digital stamps) that you have to participate and gain a chance at the end of the month to win one of two $30 gift certificates for your choice of Stampotique products.  Details for submissions are here.


IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Please read ALL RULES on the linkz page before linking your creation.

Cheers!

  6. Ooh Kay, I love games. Card games, board games. Such fun. This is so cute. Love how you altered your playing cards. Those two stamps are so subtly different at first you think it's the same one then you look again. Spot the difference! Love it.
