Hello, welcome to the first challenge of 2023 from the Daring Cardmakers — as ever the first challenge of the month is an “elemental” one, just choose at least three elements from the inspiration picture to kickstart your project.
I chose some of the colours, a fabric look to the square (might be too subtle for the camera), pinked edges, foliage and white dots to create a clean and simple birthday card to add to my stash. The square is coloured with a Copic marker and cross hatched with a fine liner in a shade darker blue (because I didn’t plan anything before I started, I’d probably have used a stamp if I’d had any idea what I was going to do!). I don’t have any pinked edge dies but I do have pinking shears. The die cut leafy sprig is coloured with a Copic and then a bit of detail added with a coloured pencil.

Beautiful! It amazes me how many elements you've brought in to this design, and still it is ultra clean.
