Something a little different!

Just a quick post for a Saturday evening as I finally got round to making a card for the Tuesday Trigger at Moxie fab World before it closes tomorrow.
I'm still new to this photo inspiration type of challenge but I just loved this photo and pretty much new what I wanted to do!



I used my very old Hero Arts deckle squared background stamp with versamark and then applied chalk in different shades to blend together before making a mask from four of the squares and then moved it around the grid to over stamp with the periwinkle flower. 
It's not my usual style but it was great stepping out of my comfort zone, hope you like it too :)


Well that's all for tonight as I need an early night ... Hannah is going off tomorrow morning for a weeks camping with the guides as a young leader/ranger and our estate car has been ear-marked to help carry kit from the storage container to the coach, it'll be an early start for a Sunday morning!

Thanks for calling in X
