I'm on a roll, at least for making cards well ahead of the required occasion! That is a somewhat unusual occurrence for me but I'm trying to get better about it. I did fall way behind on the Compendium of Curiosities 2 challenges on the
Studio L3 blog since I've been so crazy busy lately. I missed
Challenge 3 - Marbled Stains and
Challenge 4 - Faded Layers. The current challenge is to use Shattered Stains, as found on page 48 of the Tim Holtz book,
A Compendium of Curiosities, Volume 2. These challenges have been so much fun
and you have a chance to win a prize. This week's sponsor is Simon Says Stamp (
www.simonsaysstamp.com).
Down to business, for my Father's Day card I combined Challenges 3, 4 and 5! (So I can say I'm caught up now right?) The base background is the Marbled Stains technique, background stamping used Faded Layers and of course the gears utilize the Shattered Stains method (which is so so cool).
I'm pretty sure my Dad never looks at my blog so this won't ruin the surprise. ;-) Here's a detail of the gears:
Well, enjoy the rest of your week and check out the other art people are doing for this over at the
Sudio L3 blog. There is some fantastic inspiration over there!
Lisa, you did a FABULOUS job combining the challenge techniques! This is a spectacular card. The colors, the imagery... every detail is so well thought-out and perfectly accomplished. I LOVE the shattered stained cogs-- really cool. You dad is going to be delighted!
