Challenge #4

Welcome to RES-Q-Challenge #4! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! Today's challenge is brought to you by
Pat (casep on SCS):


My challenge is about diamonds. You might know that the 4C’s of diamonds are cut, color, carat, and clarity. We are going to borrow 3 of these to get your mojo in motion.
The directions are very easy.
Choose a cut, a color, and a carat.
Then create a card based on the materials your choices indicate.
Make your choices and let the creativity begin!


1. Cut:

use a round shape on your card:



use an oval shape on your card:


use a heart shape on your card:


use a square shape on your card:


2. Color*

Use blue, yellow, green, white







Use purple, orchid, green & white







Use green, aqua, blue, white







Use pink, purple, green, white





* I left the colors generic because I don’t know whose papers or cardstock you might have. In other words use any pink, purple, green, blue, or yellow you have and/or any decorative paper that matches the color scheme.

3. Carat:
1 carat- Use ribbons or fibers

2 carats- Use brads or eyelets

3 carats- Use buttons, charms, or epoxy stickers

4 carats- Use bling, rhinestones, or glitter


By the way, when I was doing research for this challenge I found out that diamonds come in over 300 different colors. Who knew? To see all the natural colors of diamonds click here: http://www.colordiamondshop.com/search.php

Here is Pat's sample:



Remember, there are no time limits, vendor restrictions or other rules for the challenge. It's only for fun and inspiration. When uploading your card to Splitcoaststampers, Papercraft Planet, StampTV or any other site, please use the keyword RESQ04. And whenever you upload to a site or you blog, be sure to link back here using so we can all see what you've done!


Thanks for playing with us this week!
