This is totally out of my comfort zone,but that is where I wanted to go. I wanted to use these stamps and go with an abstract art appeal. I really enjoyed creating something that challenged me. I spent more time on this card because moving out of my normal types of cards was a stretch. But, I really like the card and I love the fact that it is different. Hope you like it too!
I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to offset the stamps with the two colors. I used the same two colors and direct to paper for the background. Stamped strips with SU Canvas BG then used Crafters ToolKit to do paper piercing in corners and hand stitched lines with colored floss. Direct to paper on corner squares. Used Dew Drops on centers of images.
This is my entry for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 4 MMSC4.

I'm really enjoying this challenge! Bev

I am all about abstract Art. I�m just a little nervous putting in on a card...I APPLAUD YOU my dear for stepping out of your comfort zone. That�s what a challenge is all about, stretching your limits and trying new things. Your card turned out fabulous. I bet you are so glad you took it in a new direction, cuz you should be very proud of this card...I think it should be frame, but that is just me Thank you for playing with us for another week can't wait to see what you will come up with for next weeks challenge.

It is no easy task to get abstract to work on a card, but you've pulled it off beautifully! Very striking card!
