It's taken me until now, less than two hours before the deadline, to come up with something that (hopefully!) fits. The base card is one of the BIG 8" squares from Craftwork Cards. The bird is the Penny Black stamp, the tree and blossom are Elusive Images from Graphicus. The flowers are punched from pearlescent paper and overstamped with the polka dots. They have glitter glue centres. The die cut butterfly is also from Craftwork Cards (ie. not cut by me!) and the quote on the left was printed on to acetate via my computer.
The finished card turned out nothing like I had envisaged it to begin with, and it's unlike anything I've done before, but then I guess that's what a challenge is all about!
It is amazing how cards turn out... mine was nothing like I had envisaged ( actually, not sure if I had envisaged anything! lol) Thank you for your comment on my sketch

Oh well done Lynne, this is lovely. I know what you mean about challenges. It's good to feel stretched sometime but I have to admit I looked at this one and thought it was far too complicated for me, but you've certainly cracked it.

This is lovely Lynne.I think you really rose to the challenge. I have some bits on my desk - I was going to enter, but I just didn't manage to put it together in time!
ReplyDeletevery nice, Ive never had a go at a challenge with such restrictions, but might be tempted in the future, well done
