Card for ARTastic


I have created a card for January's ARTastic challenge. The inspiration art is this wall art by Vexta, plus use triangles or diamonds.



I have cut out lots of tiny diamonds from different patterned papers using a stencil, inked them and created a star shape from them. I placed a resin flower in the centre, drawn freehand in metallic pen around it and mounted it on patterned paper and cardstock.

  1. Lovely entry for ARTastic January 2014 challenge. I used to do alot of work like this and know how difficult it is to get your pieces to sit together perfectly! Love the use of the darker papers!
