Hello my friends!
Sorry I've not been posting as much as I usually do, but as you know this is 'craft show' time so even though I've been creating up a storm, I've not taken the time to photograph and share everything here on my blog ... you would go crazy if I posted that much!! LOL!!
BUT today I have a creation I quickly put together for the Magazine Monday Week #28 Challenge over at PaperCrafter's Corner (LOVE THIS CHALLENGE) and here is this week's magazine cover we are drawing inspiration from.
The first thing to catch my eye is the 'domino' piece right in the center of the cover ... so THAT is where my creation began. I took a piece of 4x6 black cardstock and started punching holes in it. Then, using up a few of the OH SO MANY scraps laying on my worktable at the moment, I started cutting strips and shapes and came up with this design:
I don't know about you, but I am always in need of masculine birthday cards so that too was utmost on my mind when I was creating. I am NOT a 'symmetrical' design style person so this is really out of my comfort zone but hopefully someone will be able to enjoy it!
A few additional challenges:
Die Cuttin Divas #139 - Anything Goes (must include a die cut)
Crafty Sentiments Designs - Anything Goes
Shopping Our Stash - Stitching (faux or real)
Twisted Tuesday Challenge - Free For All (twist: anything goes)
