AAA Cards Game 9

 

At last the long awaited MacGyver Game! This is scheduled to happen every time there is a fifth Sunday in the month, but this, our first ever MacGyver, is even more exciting.  Every DT member has a prize to give away as well as the main huge Stampendous package for the winner.

So here's how it plays:

1. Follow round the blog hop and look for the hidden treasure - images of one of the five MacGyver items will be lurking.  Collect all five and create a post at your blog, add in those 5 images and a quick word or two on your favourite DT visit. Link your post to the AAA Cards Linky. This is Victoria's challenge and the winner receives a Stampendous Frantage Encrusted Jewel Set (Embossing Powders and Elements- see image at AAA Cards). That's the first way to win.

2. While visiting via the blog hop leave a comment that answers the question posed by each of the other DT members. The best answer, chosen by each DT member, will win a Stampendous stamp. That's six more chances to win!

3. Then of course is the actual MacGyver Game. Make a card using each of the five items mentioned and be in with a chance to win BIG!  A large flower Stampendous stamp set and matching dies for each flower! So I think that makes a total of eight ways to win. Got to be worth a go! or two! or.....!

For my part of the Stampendous/AAA Cards amazing giveaway I've made a little photo tutorial of how I created these cards.

Read carefully - there's a question at the bottom! (Ha ha! Very funny! Only kidding about the read carefully, but there is a question for the chance to win my comments contest.)

1. My supplies all out and ready.

2. Swipe the ink across an acrylic block.

3. Spritz the block with water. I found three to four sprays about right for this project.

4. Tilt the block to allow the inks to run together.

5. Place the stamp onto the inked block. There's enough ink to do several stampings so I placed the stamp in a different place for each card to ensure I picked up the colours in different ways.

6. Stamp the image onto water colour card.

7.  Can you see my inky finger? More fingers became inky as I carried on, so be careful when you touch the card or you're probably get a splodge where you don't want it - like I did on card 2. But all is not lost with water colours, I simply used the left over ink from the block and a water brush to make a stripy background.

7. I stamped the sentiment straight onto card 1, heat embossed it onto card 2 and onto a tag for card 3.

So here's my question: Can you guess which is my favourite card and why?

And my prize is:

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampendous, Agapanthus Thank You

Ink: Kaleidacolor, creole spice; Versamaek; Stampendous embossing powder

Die: Claerly Besotted, Tag along
