More with the masterboard

I had an idea for a card while I was at work yesterday and we had a friend round to dinner last night so I had to save it for today ....

I cut 4 small squares from the masterboard I made for my previous card. I clipped two opposing corners with my widest corner punch from each of them, inked the edges with vintage photo and then spent ages looking for the right colour to mount them. There is paper scattered all over the table as I experimented with purples, yellows, creams, white, black and and craft card. Black looked impressive, as did the purple, but they also mage the whole effect quite dark, and I also wanted to keep with the colours for the Chocolate Baroque challenge.

 My daughter and I both voted this our favourite combination and I do feel that it leaves my earlier card for dead. Still you have to start somewhere to move any further.


It is lucky it's evening here so I used the flash, which puts all my background mess into darkness.

I will load this up to the Chocolate Baroque challenge blog taking me from never having entered to entering twice in one challenge.
Take care and have a great weekend, Cheers, Dianne
