Make It Monday #110: Collage Elements


Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge, a stamped collage.

Dawns GORGEOUS card!


OK, I LOVE to stretch myself and participate in challenges. But, I do have one issue with that participation. I am VERY literal. I have trouble stepping outside the guidelines. Which is kind of odd because I am NOT a good rule follower!
Anyway, this was indeed a challenge for me. My work space was COVERED with stamps and ink and scratch paper tests!
So, here is my card which is as far removed from Dawn's as I could go ;)





First of all, I was SO EXCITED to see how she made the BEAUTIFUL flower. I so had to copy that. I love it. It is Rosie Posie, my favorite flower set. She used the Scallop from the small Limitless Layers die ~ BRILLIANT. I am not sure if it was an accident but knowing PTI, not!
I used Background Basics: Geometrics, Fancy Flourishes, and  Stylish Sentiments: Birthday. I tried to add more stamps but I just couldn't pull it off. It got to busy for me. The inks are Classic Kraft, Fine Linen and Melon Berry. 
I actually am happy with how it turned out. I am SLIGHTLY embarrassed with how much it follows Dawn's design       
(but I just cannot help my literal nature)

Thank you for looking at my blog!
Susan

  2. You have combined two of my new favorite elements on this stand out card. The Step 2 for Rosie Posie has clearly brought this particular image to life for many of us. AND I adore the birthday greeting you used here. What a cheerful and happy birthday someone will have upon receiving this. : )

  5. I think it is lovely and clearly has your own touch on it! I also love that you used the BB: Geometrics stamp...it totally grounds the rest of your design! Thanks for sharing...I'm very inspired!
