My Other Creations: CKCB "Stickers Only" Challenge!

Wow!  Talk about a sticky tricky challenge!  Our Counterfeit Kit Design Team was challenged to use stickers as embellishments on our latest project.  I ended up making this little tin:


So how do I justify this as a "stickers only" item?  Well, I painted a tin to make it look vintage-y and added a scrap or two of fabric and a Prima flower to the base / background.  On the front of the tin, the main focal point is the bird and the sentiment.  And guess what?  It is a STICKER!  Ha!  I can't even tell you how many times I've meant to use this fabulous sticker from K & Company (it's been in the stash for a l-o-n-g time, believe you me), so this project is just what I needed to finally make a sticker the star of the show.


I also thought that Washi tape should count as a sticker, so I hung some of it down from a Tim Holtz hanger and connected it to the aforementioned bird sticker.  Sticker tape taped to a sticker?  Come on!  It just doesn't get much stickier than that, right??


So a hearty thanks is in order for CKCB for really making me scratch my head on this one!  And for those of you that still don't know what CKCB is, it's a fantastic blog that encourages us to "counterfeit" a current crafting kit that's out on the market with supplies we already own!  If you are a supply hoarder like unto myself, this is a great blog to help you de-stash and get excited about your old products again!
