June already - where is the year going?! It's little dull and cooler today which is a shock to system after the all the glorious sunshine! I think the garden will be grateful if it rains though.
The first Friday of the month is the Elemental Challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers. I've gone a little floral for my take on it using a few new techniques I have learnt over the past few weeks.
This time, I have used acylic paints to create the background using the smooshing technique that I would usually use with my ink pads.
I've also used sewing for the first time on a card - if you can call it that!!! A trio of cross stitches. It's a start, right?!
Below is the June Challenge and you can choose any 3 elements or more from it. I opted for the colours (which count as one), the flowers, circle, and cross.
You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE. I look forward to seeing your creations!
Have a lovely weekend,
Shabneez
