Rubber Dance May Challenge!


It's challenge time again at the Rubber Dance blog and this month our colours are bright, fresh and summery and our (optional) theme is Flowers.

For this challenge I made a little notebook. The flowers are coloured with Inktense pencils - I love how vibrant these pencils are, even on kraft card, and they blend and layer beautifully.

I finished with some script stamping with Archival Tree Branch (THE colour for kraft card) and a Prima metal embellishment treated with Distress Paints.

I really look forward to seeing what you create for this month's Rubber Dance challenge :)
