Hello there! Time for a new sketch at STAMPlorations. I've hardly tweaked it at all this time, just doubled up on the circles, because the first three small circles that I stamped were a bit far apart and didn't look like they belonged to each other. By adding the extra images I was able to link the trio visually. The background strip is made by stamping the two wide strips from Vignette: Grunge Floral Strips with spritzed Distress Inks, then reloading and re-stamping slightly offset.
I nearly left it at that, but I got the urge to splatter - ooh, it felt so good! Then out came the credit card for some grungy lines to finish it off.
Our guest designer for this challenge is Sue V - hop on over the the STAMPlorations blog to see her fabulous creation, and those from the design team, then come on in and play!
I'm entering my card into The Paper Players Monochromatic Clean and Simple challenge:
Stamps used:
Sentiment Builders: Celebrate, Vignette: Grunge Floral Strips and Holiday Artsy
