Hopefully, you've arrived via Cindy and if you've dropped in directly, you can get to the beginning of the blog back at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog so that you don't miss anything along the way.
I decided to choose the second challenge for the hop - to create an angled background for my project. And with that, I managed to create all three challenges this month which is something I haven't managed for a long time.
We had the ugly sweater inspiration (here) and then the ten minute card challenge (here). It felt really good to get all of the prompts completed and to really make the most of the inspiration offered up by the blog and the team. Love this group of creative girls!
Anyway, here's my angled background layout and this was really fun to make even if it didn't turn out quite as I had planned in my head. This is a really good design concept when your kit is coming to an end and you only have some scraps. I tried not to overthink it and just created the page as I usually would. One silly photo and some minimal embellies means that the background is still a main feature on the page.

Great LO loving everything about it..especially the doily used as a background for an embellishment and the enamel hearts!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun LO! I love the journalling around the angles, and the white space makes the angles pop. :o)
ReplyDeleteFabulous colours. Great clean page despite all the angles - love the twine bow :)
ReplyDeleteI've been having problems trying to leave you a comment. It one stage I couldn't even view the page because I couldn't log in to Yahoo! Not sure if it's me or the iPad or what.
ReplyDeleteYou've done some great pages with your kit this month.
Great take on the angles challenge, love the pp's and embellies that you used.
ReplyDeleteWonderful page - I love the design and the angled papers give it so much energy and fun :o)
ReplyDeleteNice mix of angled papers and I've always liked journaling around edges. It works so well in making the journaling part of the design. Another 214 LOADster! Wonderful!
