Cheerful stamp pad challenge 81: anything goes


This is my design card for today's first week of the Cheerful stamp pad challenge 81: anything goes, which is being sponsored by Gecko Galz. Please click on the challenge link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team and to enter our challenge - everyone loves 'anything goes'.

I was so impressed with the images of our sponsor, Gecko Galz, that I couldn't resist buying some. I initially found the script background that was a freebie, but, when I looked further on the Etsy site, I found a wonderful 'sew and sew collage sheet' from which I used the picture on the right and also a 'retro style collage sheet' from which I took the pattern picture at the top. I changed all the images digitally to black, grey and white, printed out and matted on to a black card blank and added three pearl rosettes from Poundland.


This is also for:

Digitally sweet 77: anything goes (everything is digitally produced except the addition of the rosettes)
