Going Abstract

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week. We're finally seeing some signs of spring--I love it! One of our trees even has buds (it's the little things--ha ha).

I'm excited for my first CAS-ual Fridays Challenge post as a Girl Friday! This week's challenge is to use chevrons and flowers.

I went a little abstract on the flowers and made this card:

I started off by making a chevron mask and misting over it. I don't have a chevron mask, so instead, I die cut some My Favorite Things chevrons. Once I got the placement I wanted, I sprayed over the chevrons with Mister Huey's Taxi.

Since I have to put something digital on a card (ha ha), I created the black and white flowers in Photoshop. I used a pie chart digital template and clipped eight copies of the same patterned paper to the different wedges. I rotated the papers to get the cool radial look. Yep, a little abstract for a flower, but I wanted something graphic.

After I printed the flowers, I stamped the There She Goes sentiment and layered the flowers around it. I finished the card by layering some gems and sequins. Here's a close-up:

This week, we're being sponsored by Ellen Hutson. The winner will receive a gift certificate!
