This is my card this week for the recipe challenge design team on Tamara's sketch blog. The challenge this week was to use paint, an exclamation point in a different, unexpected way, and use squares. I have to admit I really struggled with this week's challenge. The paint is used on background stamp on the green part of the card. I used the word window punch and the 1/2" circle punch as exclamation points and a design element since I didn't have any other exclamation points to work with. I think this looks a little weird on my card but I was trying hard to keep to the recipe design challenge. The squares are pretty obvious -my focal image and the layers. Check out what the rest of the design team came up with here.
