Dutchdare Challenge 32

My heart sank when I read what this week's challenge was going to be ... mosiac. However I decided to use a technique called serendipity and make a tiled background.

I used scraps from my overflowing scrap box to do a sheet of serendipity (collage to some of use - you stick little bits of paper on a larger sheet so they overlap) and cut out 16 squares using my nesties (lazy!!). I coloured in this gorgeous iclke mouse by Rachelle Anne Miller and matted it onto brown cardstock. I mounted the tiles onto brown cardstock, added the image and some gorgeous bo bunnny ribbon. Finally I added square brads to the image.

Do look at the other DT members interpreatations of Mosiac.

ABC challenge I is for ...

INDIVIDUAL

This week the ABC I challenge is for Individual. We are lucky to be sponsored by Inklebods who have given a wonderful stamp called Mikey for the winner.The winner will also be asked to join the design team as a regular team member, so if you are interested pop over to the ABC Challenge to find out more.

We would like to see your best work, in your favourite style and medium, we want to see your own individual style.

I love this Tilda image, and have coloured her in using my Promarkers. I chose brown and red/pink as a colour scheme as it is quite rich and autumnal, and I love the colours and light effects we get in autumn.

I used my nestibilities to cut all the ovals and oval frames. For the smaller ovals I used a technique I haven't used for a while, serendipity (or collage to any teachers out there!!), as I love the hotchpotch effect it creats. The papers are K and Co and Papermania and the brown card is from my stash. I added some faux stitching, ribbon and copper wire. The flowers are Prima, with tiny gems in the middle.

If you have time, why don't you have a go at the challenge.
