For this week's SCS Inspiration Challenge we're headed to London to celebrate the Olympics at Selfridges & Co. My card is inspired by this monochromatic Games Montage Cushion by Jan Constantine.
I loved the gray-on-ivory montage with a black frame, so that's what I incorporated in my design using five different Artistic Outpost images to create my background (and a sixth for the sentiment flag).
I added some pops of color using this week's Freshly Made Sketch. I also used only cardstock & ink in my desk to qualify for htis week's Solid As a Rock Challenge at the City Crafter Blog.
I'm also joining the What Do you Say Challenge at Simon Says Stamp with sentiments in my background collage and forefront on the sentiment flag. I hope you find inspiration.
What a great piece - I love that monochromatic look. Perfect for the olympics too! Thanks so much for joining us for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge!
