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.
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!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous take on this month's challenge. I agree with Kylie that it is quite difficult to get all those little pieces sitting together perfectly. You've done a great job with this. Thanks for joining in with us at ARTastic.
