City Crafter 324

Hello...

It's Marina's turn to host the challenge at City Crafter this week and she's chosen a fabulous one for us


Synchronised Swim


The challenge is to make a project inspired by the photo... The colours, shapes or the swimming

It's not often that I have an idea right away but I did for this...


I cut out a shape from some scrap card using the hillside border dies (Lil'Inkers) and sponged various distress inks in a circular shape all around the front piece of CS.


Then I splashed water on to give it an underwater feel and added some coral die cuts by Avery Elle, some gems and a computer generated sentiment printed onto acetate


I loved this challenge, it really pushed me to make something vibrant and, well, different.

Hop on over to the blog to see what the rest of our team and our Guest designer Davi have created. I hope you'll be inspired to join us I'm really looking forward to see what you come up with.

Have a great day!
