I've decided to be inspired by a challenge. Having seen this post by Mark Gould, and noting he has joined the design team for Fun With ATCs, I thought I'd have a go myself. I think I could benefit from the motivation of creative challenges, to lift me out of my dry spell. I shall be scouting the net for a few more I think.
Anyway, back to this one. The theme is 'Fashion' and this is what I've come up with.
It doesn't stand up to close scrutiny. The card I used wasn't exactly the smoothest grade for applying ink to and shows up much worse when scanned, than it does in real life. But in my quest to embrace imperfections a bit more, I shall leave it as it is.
Though I've been crafting for donkey's years, I still find myself slap bang in the middle of a learning curve. But hey, that's half the fun.
Till next time

Thanks for playing along with us at fun with ATC's Paul. lovely pastel colours and the text behind puts me in mind of the art deco period.
ReplyDeleteI had not thought of scanning work into the computer instead of taking pics, must give that a try.
As for a learning curve, I am pretty sure there are no flats ;)
I like it a lot, love those soft colors and the image itself, of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for playing along with FwATC - great to see you there.
Best, Suzanne
Now there's elegance! Such a super colour palette too ...
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to crafting with rubber stamps. Lovely act.
ReplyDeleteCame on here to say I didn't know you were a friend of Lindsay Masons. Must tell you how I know her - she won't remember me.
Hugs, Neet xx
Ooh,I like that, Paul - not your usual style but lovely work. I love the b/g and echo Amelie's comment re lack of imperfection xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat an outstanding ATC!! Looks so french stylish and a great choice of colours (:o)
ReplyDeleteLooks great to me Paul and love the one below too, glad you feel more like crafting Dot
ReplyDeleteThe colouring is so subtle, Paul, and it gives a real vintage look to it. I can remember Crepe de Chine dresses in just those colours and Yes! I am ancient!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.. the lino cut/print workshop was such an excellent day.
