Make My Monday Challenge
Oh dear, the challenge on Make My Monday is a CAS sketch and I'm afraid 'clean and simple' really isn't me but I've had a go anyway. I followed the sketch and instructions to the letter - another thing they said was NO distressing!! - can you believe that?? I used a stamp by Hero Arts which is one of a set which I've had for years but sad to say not used recently; however it came to mind when I saw the sketch. It was stamped onto plain card and also onto patterned paper which I cut out and 'paper pieced' for the flowers, adding glittery centres and colouring the background with Copic pen. Squares were cut out and adhered to the card blank with a punched greeting popped onto a die cut shape to match the flower centres. One good thing about this particular challenge is that it has reduced my scrap mountai, albeit by a small amount. Follow the link to see other examples from the design team.

Mmmm- now I've an idea but it's totally out of my comfort zone too. I do like the way you varied the position of the flower on each square - very effective.
ReplyDeleteWell done with the scrap heap.
