A New Challenge

I recently came back to Blogworld after a break from frenetic card making.  Challenges are a great way of rekindling "The Mojo".  They focus the mind to produce  a card with a specific element.  In taking part in these challenges I find it fascinating to visit the blogs of fellow entrants where many a fantastic tip or technique is explained.

It was on one of these recent visits that I was intrigued by the use of masking tape as a stamping medium.

I decided to give this technique a go. Not as successful as I had hoped but next time I will use a brayer to apply ink to produce a more even result.

 

 

On my virtual travels I came across the Allsorts Challenge Blog which, this week required participants to -  make a project without using any flowers

 

Fits the brief, I think.
