The Challenge #59

I have a fun announcement for you today! I've been asked to join the design team over at The Challenge! I joyfully accepted and today is my first day participating as an actual designer! I'm over the moon thrilled to be joining this incredibly talented team of ladies!

Since this is the first week of the month, this week's challenge is a sketch for you to try.

I'll be honest with you, I struggled a little with this one. I tried to turn the circles into balloons for my first attempt and it just looked wonky. Instead, I decided to take a very literal interpretation and this is what I came up with.

I turned it into a Valentine's Day card for my hubby. I kept the circle shapes on the side and then overlapped them with some silver embossed scribble circles. It adds just a little bit more interest and shine. I followed that by heat embossing the sentiment in the same silver to keep it uniform.

Here's a fun little tip for you - If you don't have many geometric shapes, look at your stamps from the other side. I have a set that had donut shapes in it and instead of using the actual stamp side, I turned them over on my block and used the back to stamp. That's actually how I got my medium and small circles! This is just a fun way to stretch your stamps when you don't have exactly what you're looking for.
