Train Wreck ... SC540

Photo Details

Poster: Anne Ryan

Hello Everyone,

Yes, this card is a train wreck. I was supposed to create a card for the IC492 this past Saturday, and Friday morning, I got a call out of town buyers would be here that afternoon. That wrecked my planned Ramon Santiago inspiration card.

For today's SC challenge, we were to use circles on a square format. This is a wreck for this challenge, too. I decided to cut 2 circles in halves/qrts to add interest. Made smaller layers on top and called it a day.

Back later tonight to comment.

this is definitely NOT a train wreck anne! the inspiration challenge was always my favourite because you there were no rules or steps to follow - just go wherever your artistic talents take you. in this case, thanks to your creativity, there are unexpected elements that make this as unique as you are!
