Masculine with Optional Twist of Mixed Media
(For the purpose of this challenge, we are defining 'mixed media' as stamps and ink plus two other elements that add texture and/or dimension.)
Our sponsor this time is STAMPlorations, and I used a different image from World Birthday Cakes. There are several iconic images in this set, each converted into a birthday cake.
I stamped the Sydney Opera House image onto Scarlet Jewel paper and fussy cut it. I masked off an irregular shape around the top third of my card, and stamped the opera house in Versamark ink--it is difficult to see in the photo, but I created a background pattern of random bits of the same focal image.
I am also entering this card at Paper Players #300 where they are celebrating their 300th challenge with a CAS Celebration challenge, and at Addicted to Stamps and More #199 Clean and Simple.
Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer. Our Guest Designer this week is Patty and our sponsor is STAMPlorations.
