I chose to combine two challenges into one this week.....I've been wanting to play with my new Sasparilla papers from October Afternoon and when I saw Kimber's Card Sketch Challenge this week I immediately envisioned circles with stars in them. This affect worked well for the negative/positive challenge at October Afternoon too...so it just made sense to combine them both.
So here is the sketch I based my card on:
And then October Afternoon challenged us to use both the positive and the negative space from a die-cut shape...this is what I came up with:
To create the little circle/star embellies...I punched my star out of the center of my circle and then using dimensional adhesive I attached it to a second circle of pattern paper (making a mini shadow box, basically). Then I added a mini staple for added design and texture.
October Afternoon Supplies Used: Patterned Paper - Sasparilla (Wide Open Spaces, Giddy up, Stage Coach) ; Holiday Style (Toyland); Campfire (Sleeping Bag); Campfire Word Stickers
Other Supplies Used: Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; Tim Holtz Distresss Ink - Vintage Photo; Sentiment - Stampin' Up - FYI; Star Punch - EK Success; Spellbinders Nestabilities - Classic Circles; Photo Corner - Misc.
Thanks for looking!
This is a great card! Love what you did with the negative cut outs!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous, Shilo! I love the papers, the little staples and the way you used both the positive and negatives of the star punch. Thanks so much for stopping by during the Paper Smooches April Release Blog Hop!
