Balancing Act.

So many wonderful challenges so little time - sigh! But of course I did have to try and get Scrap365 April sketch Challenge done as it was out of my comfort zone and I am trying to stretch my creativity more by attempting the challenges that actually challenge ME!

So without further waffle from me, here is the sketch for April at Scrap365.

Ta Da! What do you think? I had so much trouble! It took me 'like forever' to be happy with this page. I added embellies then took them away again! Then I thought if I cut out my title it might help it come together - but no!

Wasn't until I was looking at some inspiration in Pinterest that I thought vellum added to the sunburst would help. As I had already stuck down the main pieces I ended up tucking the vellum under the very edge of the patterned paper! Still, got there in the end and before the deadline too!!!

Lovely craft foam lettering (with glitter of course!). I wanted the title to be in this bright green as the glow stick around my daughters neck was the same shade of  'in your face'!

Did you notice I even added some machine stitching? I thought that was the easiest and most attractive way of  keeping the vellum in place.

After cutting out my title I had the inevitable leftover foam scraps so I punched tiny circles out and adhered them like confetti around the page (waste not!).

The camera was fussy cut from the patterned papers that I used (all Amy Tangerine 'Sketchbook').

Now all that's left is for me to thank you for stopping by and to leave you with the link to the Scrap365 blog where you can find all the details of this challenge (still open for a few more days).
