ABC Ransom Blog Hop


Welcome to the ABC Ransom Blog Hop, 
hosted by Red Carpet Studio!

If you've come fromTara's blog, you're in the right place.

The Red Carpet Studio designers thought it would be fun to host a mystery blog hop while showcasing projects that can be made using all those leftover letters in your stash - hence where the "ransom" comes in. Ransom notes play a huge role in mystery/suspense films, and are often created out of random letters cut from magazines, newspapers, etc. in order to disguise handwriting. 


While we won't be doing any kidnapping or holding anybody ransom today - we do have some creative projects to share with you!

For my project using leftover letters in my stash, I created...
 
I have tons and tons of leftover letters, from the time I used to scrapbook, and those X'es never finish... There are only a few Dutch words including an X, like ex or sax (saxophone) and both weren't the thing I was scrapping about.
But then, I had a lightbulb, X is from X-mas!!! Not a Dutch word, but everybody knows what this means, and since Christmas is coming up soon it was perfect!
The X is a chipboard letter and I used some Papermania papers to cover it up. The edges are inked with Distress Ink Walnut Stain.
I used an imaga by Magnolia, and I forgot to make a close-up picture. She is colored with my Copic Markers and I used the following.
Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20
Hair: E35, E37, E29
Clothes: W3, W5, W7, R27, R29, W00, W0, W1.
These are leftover letters from 3 different thickersets, but they really match well together!
I also used some pearls from my stash and some twine.
Last but not least I arranged a typical "Sandra" flowerbouquet, totally my style, you can find it back on a lot of my projects.

We're also holding some blog candy ransom! However, the blog candy is hidden, and only certain stops of the hop are hiding it. The only way you can win is if you comment on those blogs! Now, we're not going to tell you whose blogs those are (that would be too easy) but we will tell you what the prizes are!
