Shapes -- Stars

The challenge today was to make a star your main focus -- also it's art glitter week, so adding glitter isn't necessary but is icing on the cake.

here's my take on being a star

Masking

The challenge today was to do some masking -- taking a copy of your stamp and covering part of where you're going to stamp so that you have spaces left for full images. This took me a bit to get into it but in the end I loved it.

Here's what I was able to create.

Sunflowers

So I love this challenge, in fact I have been saving these pictures for just the challenge that meets them. I made this card for my cousin's bridal shower a few weeks ago, she LOVES sunflowers.

I was playing around and realized that if you cross stitch the middles of the flowers they look like they have seeds and have texture, so that's what I did. I also made a few book marks as well for my cousin.

Here it is, in a few different shots.






Thanks to Carolyn V for the great shape idea for the card, I can't take credit for that, that was all her!
