A challenging Challenge!

I needed to make a display of cards for an upcoming event my team is involved with. However, there is a catch - All the cards needed to be made using VERY limited supplies!! Here is the list of what I am allowed to use:

Pocket Silhouettes Stamp Set, Chocolate Chip Ink Pad, Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker, Not Quite Navy Stampin' Write Marker, Whisper White Cardstock, Earth Elements Cardstock, Snail Adhesive - that's all!! No punches, no accessories, no ribbon - nothing else!!

It really was a challenge to start with as I kept thinking 'oh that punch/embellishment/ribbon will look really good there' then realising that I couldn't use it! BUT it is also a really good exercise to do to realise just how versatile one stamp set can be! So I thought I would share my collection of cards with you over the next few days. Oohh and I did cheat (just a little!) by sneaking in the use of a pin for paper piercing!
