And here is what I created for the challenge...
I know that this is not along the lines of my usual style and believe me when I say that it turned out NOTHING like how I imagined it, but I like it. I think that it has a Mexican-worn-tile kind of style to it.
The background is simply a recycled lightweight paper bag (my stamps from Unity come in these a lot of the time) that I crinkled up and attached to my card base.
The four squares are simply cardstock that I stamped using the swirl and border detail from the Unity Store kom for November, Believe in Fairytales, in black and then added just a few dots of white pen detail.
I colored that same border for a detail piece across the bottom of the card to accent the chipboard sentiment which I placed on a couple of punched circles (again accented with a tiny bit of white pen work.)
Supplies used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Believe in Fairytales
*Pink Paislee Expressions Glitter Alphabet Chipboard
*watercolor pencils
*Med. Black brads
*old paper sack
*scraps colored cardstock
*white paint pen
*Marvy Uchida circle punches
