How the backing card was made 

Using paint Pro


First I drew a small dandelion seed, to match the one of the stamp using PSP tool created a 'tile' to make a background

The variegated background colour was then used as one layer with the
top layer being 'filled' as the seed

The seed can be changed in size & direction\pattern.  There is a stock of variegated colours, or make your own to support the colours of your theme.

A tile is a single image that can be offset to create an overall pattern from one small single graphic, I usually make them about 1" square, the programme does the rest, there are various combinations.

MoJo Monday - Challenge Sketch 386

Sketch

Firstly this sketch really has grabbed my interest, nice to get away from making toppers & colouring, but to look at shape, texture and another crafting skills.  So thanks to MoJo Monday, glad and I found you.

Secondly, all this yellow, black and white.  Apart from being a bit like Easter, I saw a similar set of papers, unfortunately it was online and could quite work out what size it was on the 8 x 8 sheets, I've purchased these before in the past, on line and they are nothing like I expected.  Yes! - printing your own does take a lot of inject, but I only print what I'm going to use, not A4 sheets and really enjoy dabbling with the PSP programme and creating.

There was a lot of work that went into this card, my regret was using the flower soft, it gave the wrong texture and dimension. But I'm going to use this for the challenge, as I make specifically for one challenge, two at the most, if I'm lucky.

Winter Wonderland  -  Challenge Krafty Creations  (can be non Christmas)

I interpreted the Challenge as anything ''Krafty'' (show us what you do)  This is really a doodle that didn't go anywhere, yet I couldn't throw it away.  Merely pen and pencil and one I was doodling with to get the hang of Zentangle. I actually like working with B&W, perhaps flesh tones for added depth and other monochromatic effects.  Equally you can see that an image that conveys spring, could in B&W easily be used for Christmas, perhaps.

..................

Overnight, I realised this is actually half a story,  Perhaps I should have shown what I was actually working towards

I lost my MOJO completely this weekend, until I saw one of the Pan's Pastel designs teams examples - the one with the trees. ......... You've got it, I had it - well similar and it just all fell into place.  Then looking for a complete card, brayering, masking and of course BLING !!   Able to submit to two challenges, which I personally find particularly difficult to do.

This is a stamp I've been wanting for years, I've also got another of the set as a Christmas present (from me to me).  Card making is all about the enjoyment you get out of the making and sharing.  But just occasionally you do get a buzz and think - yep I really like this one.

Rather disappointed with the blue outline - which is not quite so bad on the original card.  Photography is obviously not one of my strongest points.  Decided to submit two for the challenge.
