So I've had to find a way to give myself a boost in that direction. There's a wonderful Russian challenge blog called "Scrap Lifting" which as you can imagine, challenges you to lift their chosen project. That's perfect for me right now because it means I don't need to think too much about what to do ;-)
It also thrusts me into some style directions that I don't necessarily try out very often, like this shabby-chic card I made for their current challenge. It's directly lifted from the beautiful example by Melissa Phillips.
I quite like how it turned out, all pretty layers and textures. I can't wait for an excuse to give it away now!
Very sweet card. I agree that scrap lifting is a great way to try new styles. I like using Aussie Scap Jacked for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSo true & this is really lovely...like the zig zag stitching I can see...also LOVEd your video over at S Friends & I'm with Lauren - it's why I do Scrapjacked, too.....it's fun putting YOUR twist & going outta the comfort zone sometimes:):):)
