This month's challenge is to use/re-use packaging in your projects. I used the paper backing from a Prima flower packaging.
I used the Concerto mask and covered the piece with Butterscotch and Cranberry alcohol inks. I then switched to a polka dot mask by Heidi Swapp from waaaaay back and made the dots in Bottle and Lettuce alcohol inks.
The seam binding is dyed with barn door distress ink. The girl image is WS - Chelsea from The Greeting Farm and is also available at Inspiration Emporium.
You have until June 5th at midnight to enter for the challenge for a chance to win 50 Emporium Dollars to spend at the Inspiration Emporium store! For more information and inspiration please visit the Inspiration Journal.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
