Better Together - A Mix and Match Challenge Using Capsule Crafting by Andie

During this time of quarantine, Brandy and I miss crafting together.  It isn't that we did so often - we didn't see each other every week sometimes.  It's more that we can't see each other.  So I had an idea to create a challenge each week - one just for Brandy and she could create one just for me.  Brandy has to amp the idea up and came up with our official title:  Better Together - A Mix and Match Challenge.  As the quarantine process has extended and even though there are re-openings everywhere, out of an abundance of caution and love for our fellow citizens, we continue to isolate to help slow the spread of the virus.  As such, we decided to modify the challenge for the month of June.  Instead of a weekly challenge, we determined to use a capsule crafting approach.  Capsule crafting was created by Kristina Werner and you can see her take in these posts.  I explained how I chose my capsule supplies in this post.  



I decided to use my capsule for crafting, but didn't follow the mood board exactly.  These cards were more of an inspired by the mood board, which made me think of pattern and softness together.  I selected these patterned front card bases to pair with my Clearly Besotted Stamptember My Best Friend stamp set.  This set has such a soft look after layering the colors to create the flowers.  You will see by the plethora of cards that once I got stamping, I was carried away and ultimately made an entire set of 14 cards with this stamp set.  


















Whew!  That was long, but I can tell you I enjoyed every single minute.  So fun!
