I was still messing with my transparencies from the last challenge at Practical Scrappers, when along comes this weeks'....deco scissors....GROAN...ok, it's a challenge board right?...right!! -- Good thing, because I'm really happy with how this turned out.
I hand cut a bunch of circles (ok ovals) with which ever pair of scissors I grabbed out of my box, lol! I layered them and crinkled them all up -- trying to keep them "boyish". I also cut a couple of borders to anchor the photo. After I finished this up last night, I was checking out the site today and see that Kim S (who does FAB work) also did the same flower thing. I promise I didn't copy (although it wouldn't be bad if I did...that's the point of samples anyway, I guess). I'll take it as "great minds think alike"...lol! -- Sorry, there is a little glare in my photo from the transparency.
This also fits into a challenge at Personal Scrapper to "make your own embellishements" -- Oct 5th Crop Challenge.
