Happy New Year crafty friends! We hope you’ve had time to rest, craft, and enjoy the holiday season and are ready for another year of creativity.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have quite enough participants to declare a winner, but we really want to thank you so much for participating in Challenges #55 & 56.
Now, onto Sunbird Spark Challenge #57! This month our challenge is to create a “focal point”, we hope this more broad theme will allow your creativity to flow! Don’t forget to link your projects below for your chance to win a gift card to the shop!
I started by creating my background using white shimmery cardstock and the Dynamic Dotted Chevron Cover Die. Once die-cut, I adhered this down to my A2 card base. Next, I used gold foil to press the Timeless Tulips Press Plates onto some white cardstock. Then I used the coordinating stencils and dye-based ink to add some color.
Next, I cut the largest frame from the Bellezza Frames Nested Dies out of gold cardstock to match my foiling and stacked it atop two additional diecuts I cut from white cardstock to add some dimension. Then, I adhered my frame around my tulip image. I cut off the excess cardstock and adhered this down to my card base as the focal point.
I used the same gold foil to press the “Bloom Fiercely” sentiment from the Flourish Boldly Press Plates, and cut it out using the coordinating dies. I adhered my sentiment to the center of my card using foam tape, and finished it off with some gold embellishments!
We love seeing your creations and would love for you to join us in this month’s challenge! All you have to do to enter is use the challenge theme to create a project. Full challenge rules can be found here.
