Diva Challenge #110

The challenge from Laura this week is to find something way out of your comfort box. You can see the challenge here.

I am quite a neat and ordered person and my pieces are usually quite structured. I normally do not use colour either.

So I decided that colour should be my challenge, I started with white piece of paper and a graduated watercolour wash, I then stamped over it with a few Kaisercraft background stamps. Here is the finished background paper that I created.


I then tried to tangle patters that would fit in, I used the bubble wrap background stamp to tangle Bubbles and Cruffle, I love Verdigogh, it's such a simple yet effective tangle. I also used Fans, Angel Fish, Catkin, Mooka (another favourite) and Flux.

I was definitely well out of my box as this is much more unstructured and organic than my usual tiles. It was fun doing something different.
