Rather Blustery Day

 Hi!  Time for another challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge blog.  This time I am hosting and I am inspired by our windy spring weather and have called it "Rather blustery day".  Don't panic it isn't about the weather. :)  The challenge is: 

"I am inspired by Pooh Bear's quote from A A Milne of "It's a rather blustery day."   Pooh Bear struggled against the windy day and you can share something you struggle with in your art!  It can be a technique, color palette, tools, or supplies that you find difficult to use.  Share them with us along with your story on what you struggle with!  I can't wait to see your blustery day!"

So bring on your difficult techniques or things that challenge you!  I am afraid of white space. :)  Being a grungy, shabby, and collage inspired artist that white space or negative space is very hard for me. 

It takes me 4 or 5 times to get a simple card done.  When it has to be clean and neat I always have a smudge or cut that causes me to redo it.

I thought I would highlight the wildflower die cuts as the focal point with a soft quiet background.

I also had the new embossing folder with the doily and love the texture it provided behind my simple bouquet. 

I hope this has you inspired to come show what you struggle with in your crafting.  The overall winner will be offered the chance to be a Guest Designer at a future date at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the drawing for the chance to win a $25.00 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. There are also Top 3 Badges for three additional outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team.

Thanks for stopping by!
