The challenge for ARCHI-SCRAPS is an easy one and it is to.....
to use SEWING either hand or machine.. and yes I am told this is a real building!!and I did another card this month..
And the April challenge for KRAFT+ is another fabulous one.. how do they think up such imaginative and innovative challenges?? and it is...
SWATCH IT UP!! Yes use these things.. paint chips, samples, swatches, on your layout somewhere.. the Design Team have amazing and creative ideas on how they have used these color chips on their layouts so do your self a favour and pop on over and check them OUT HERE!!!! And make sure your creation is on a base of Kraft!!
and my take...
some closer views..
love creating clusters! I have used lots of old flowers, those older style of flat daisy type ones.. They are good to pop into a cluster with about half of the flower showing..
Precious Moments.
So plan a trip to Bunnings and while hubby checks out the tools you can head to the paint department and look for some paint chips.. and maybe dont be like me and get so many of them that you could fill a large zip lock bag!! hehe! ssshhh dont tell on me!! But we had a Masters Store closing down so I just thought it would be less for them to have to pack away!!
I hope your day is going well and thanks too for leaving those lovely comments that make my day!!
I can't believe that sewing machine place is real!!! Love your card - you really are soooo good at clusters! They always look fabulous!!! Great way of using paint chips ... as you know, I've been using mine up since last year - mostly to make multi colored Christmas trees!!!! Don't think I've got any left now. Not that I'm entering challenges!!!!
