I was inspired to make this project by the 'Game Pieces' challenge at Artful Times but looking back at their blog now, I'm not sure I 100% followed the brief - maybe I should have altered an existing game piece.
Anyway, this is a 'mojometer' - you spin it when you lose your crafting mojo and then you have to follow what it says :
Follow
a sketch Copy a colour
combo Try a new technique
Watch
a video CASE someone’s
card Play with a stamp set
Pick
a patterned paper Pimp an old
project
I made it using my elctronic die cutter and a cutting file from the Silhouette store - I'm sure you could do this by hand if you had very good cutting skills (which I don't!).
Although this looks multi-coloured, I only used four Distress ink pads plus black and white cardstock. I used a flower stamp by a different company for each segment. I printed the words onto Safmat clear film.
As well as Artful Times I'd like to enter:

ReplyDeleteI love this Marina it is such a great idea. Sorry it doesn't qualify for the prize at Artful Times as it is entered into more than 5 challenges and the theme was to use game pieces

Brilliant idea Marina - I'm thinking we could use something similar for a challenge at the retreat. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea. And you've shown just how versatile distress inks are. Good luck in the That's Crafty! draw.

Cool idea!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Marina - yes you are right, you were supposed to use an existing game piece - but not to worry it is a super idea and one I might copy if you don't mind. Great to get the juices going again after a missing mojo spell.
ReplyDeleteAlso remember we ask that you only enter four other challenges along with ours. Sorry but it is a brilliant make.
Hugs, Neet xx
