Basic Grey Challenge #8 ~ Shapes ~ Geometric Daisy


My contribution to the DT team for this week's challenge over at the Basic Grey Challenge blog, which is 'Shapes'. We're inviting you to 'get shapely' with squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, rhomboids, octagons.. you name it!

My card uses triangles for the daisy petals, squares and circles, and a plethora of different BG papers.. Two Scoops, Mellow, Archaic and the background is from an 8½ x 8½ pad of BG scrapbooking papers. The button is also BG.. Cupcake. Brads, twine and Stickles complete the picture. Oh, and the stem and leaves were hand-drawn/cut and also made out of BG paper.

Do hop on over to the blog to admire the rest of the DT's work, and take part if you can. We look forward to seeing you there. :o)

Chris as soon as I saw your card I loved it - it's stunning and the flower is beautifully created.
Thanks so much for your comments regarding the poor Puss - I really appreciated them. It really affected me, I think it had been terribly abused...

Thanks again
Hugs
