AFSS20 - Burn, Baby Burn!

This week's SS may have you running in the other direction...or maybe not. I want you to burn your paper to antique it a bit. Here, I used SU!'s Artifacts on a background of Basic Grey's Boxer. I like it...it's different. But be forewarned...I made myself nauseous doing this. Make sure you crack a window before you start!

Should you want to participate in this week's challenge, here are the rules:
  • Create a paper craft and then link to it from this post.
  • Should you elect to upload it to SCS, please use the keyword AFSS20.
  • Get your entries in by 7 PM MST next Sunday and I will draw a winner who will receive some goodies from me!
This week's winner is Melissa! Send me your deets please...

Burning Burnt Card

Mel M. M. M. said...

You are way too cool..or should that be hot, considering? I love your details: that belted ribbon and the big brads on that strip. They are so gorgeous (in a manly way!)
Here's a faux burnt edge tutorial
a la Tim Holtz--shared by (Mona) Lisa in the CHF forum. I thought you might be interested in it as a variation for next time (so you don't feel pukey) :0) Though, I must say authentic is very cool...I mean very hot! ;0)

Hey there,
One more, this time done with real flames.

Deb Neerman said...

Well, well, well, if isn't me late again! My life is out-of-control-crazy right now .. don't ask.

Anywho, you can find my entry HERE.

Umm, Allison? Your sample ROCKZ the Planet!!!!

~Hugs!!

Deb Neerman said...

Ummm, Allison? Is this AFSS19 or 20?

Soon as I went to upload at SCS (that I can manage, thank you very much), I realized that (a): I either missed Challenge #19 (in which case, I'm devastated), or, (2): you can't count (this prospect actually makes me happier but maybe not so much for you?).

Anyway, I'm using keyword AFSS20, yes?

~Hugs!

Deb Neerman said...

Cancel the above; it's me that can't count. Aww, just add it to the list.

See, I looked at your sidebar and so that it ended at AFSS18 and, well, yes, I totally forgot about the "clear" challenge.

Sorry for my confusion; I need a vacation ...

Erica B. said...

I like Deb am very sorry that I missed the clear challenge.

However I actually knew that I was missing it and it was tearing me up inside every day of the week.

So here is this week's entry:

Erica's Card

Theresa said...

Awesome card, Allison. It is perfect right down to the last detail. I love to play with fire, so I couldn't pass up this one.

Here is my card.
