Morning everyone!
Last week I was doing some stash sorting and rifling and realised how in the past I usually bought collection packs much more so than I do these days and because they are bulkier I usually store them away in my shelved unit rather than in my go-to Artbin box that sits next to me when I'm crafting. Nowadays I am much more likely to buy individual sheets of paper and the odd embellishment pack that will go with various different things....
That got me to thinking that I really do need to dip into those collection packs a lot more and I thought this would be a good challenge for everyone, not just me!
So for week 6, the challenge is to create a card where the vast majority of items on it are from the same collection.
That shouldn't be too hard right? ;o)
I dragged out my Echo Park - A Walk in the Park collection pack for my first card, and it was trickier than I originally thought it would be!
Paper: Echo Park, AC
Stickers: Echo Park
Stamp: Avery Elle
Dies: MFT, Memory Box, PTI
Other: 3D foam, Stickles
The only bit not from the collection pack was the red polka dot paper - I really needed some pop on this card and the other papers in the pack were just a bit too dark for what I wanted. Enter a bit of AC paper!
I'm looking forward to seeing which collections and product lines you choose to focus on. :)
That should be easy enough as I have far too many collection packs squirreled away - the problem will be choosing just one to use!
Love the colourful card.

Ooh good challenge Nat. I have 5 packs of BG that are about 5-6 years old that I need to use. I think I might go with some October Afternoon for mine, I bought one collection on sale recently and haven't used it so it should be easy, right?

Great card Nat - I went to get those Avery Elle stamps too but they had sold out by the time I found them!
