For ARTastic Challenge Blog:

Julys inspiration will come from the painting....

'The Card Sharpes' by Carravaggio

Diva Demand for an extra 6 bonus points, try and work the following into your layout, card or OTP project.

Playing Card/s = 1pt
Shades of brown = 2pts
Feather/s = 3pts

This is my Design Team LO:
I snipped some feather from a Feather Duster to put behind the buttons.
Lots of staples to hold the scrunched up ribbon on... and some (painful!) Hemp hand-stitching.
Lots & lots of Brown Mulberry Paper and I 'made' the Joker Playing Cards.


For FS2S:

July's movie poster is 'Sherlock Holmes'

(MY CHOICE!!! )

Here is July's movie poster inspiration, please feel free
to interpret this poster in anyway you wish

Added criteria for an extra 6 bonus points
give me..........
1) Metal somewhere on your layout = 1pt
2) Use the color 'teal' or shades of green = 2pts
3) Title must be in a block or rectangle = 3pts **

** (like a printers block and similar to the title on the 'Sherlock Holmes' poster)

This is my Guest Design Team LO for FS2S:
I really tried to stick to the 'block-y/shelf' format on the poster. The backgrounds is 1 sheet then I cut strips from another pattern sheet (crackle finish design), stamped the strips with a script writing stamp (careful to keep it all going in the 1 direction). I used the strips to divide it into 'boxes' like the poster... stamped some bigger script writing over it all (again mimicking the poster) and added the metal Block Title (was a magnet the strip came off of) and added some metal Garden Charms.
