I actually made two cards for this challenge but the first one was rubbish - so that's where I put it. The second time around I was determined to use this dotted leaf stamp but I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to use it. So I fell back to a tried and true thing for me - draw a rectangle around it. To my eye it makes the image stand out and doesn't add any of those pesky layers. This time, though, I got adventurous and included a couple of squiggly lines! What a rebel I am! 🤣 Truth be told I was a bit nervous about those squiggly lines because I did them by hand and was afraid I'd get them all wrong and have to go back to the beginning. Luckily they came out just fine.
I had a quick peak around blogland and found that at CASology their challenge cue word is "plant." Coincidentally my dotted leaf is a plant!
Special thanks to Less is More for inviting me to play along with them - and to Anita coordinating it all. It's always an honor to join you ladies 😊

It is absolutely fabulous to have you with us as Guest Designer, Jen. I am a huge fan of your work. This dotty foliage is fantastic. I love your rectangular frame and you did a wonderful job with your rebellious squiggles!!!!! I love your card!
ReplyDeleteSuperb card Jen; you never fail to amaze us with your wonderful talent. That drawn border really is a good trick to use on a one layer and well done for doing the squiggly lines by hand. I'm drooling over the leaf stamp - it is totally gorgeous. Thanks for being a superb guest designer for us at LIM once again xx
