August Challenge




Reader Tina submitted this layout for the August Flower Challenge. Here is her description:

I love this pic and have been wanting to highlight it on a page of its own for awhile. I scraplifted this design from a sketch in a card magazine, Card Maker 9/10, and adapted it to a 12x12 page. I dug out all my old MM patterned patterns in coordinating colors and punched and stacked them to make flowers. I love the tone on tone look I built here in green which really pops out the bright red of the flower, since they are opposing colors on the color wheel. I also decided to anchor the flowers with eyelets being that I have a million of them and I'm trying to use them up for a change.

Now it's your turn to take the Challenge. Your project could win you a spot on the October Guest Design Team - see all the details in August Challenge below.

  3. I love how the handmade flowers blend into the LO by using the same color combo. Let's the actual picture of the flower be the focus.
