Well, that is our challenge for the next two weeks on Artful Times Challenge Blog, We look forward to seeing your entries so pop along to our blog where you will see we have grown. Yes, we have a new member on our Design Team - a Big Big Welcome goes out to Wendy (Kirk) who has been a loyal follower since day one and has given us some lovely challenge pieces to drool over.
So there is some inspiration from Chrissie, Von and Wendy for you to look at and here is what I did:
looking from front over inwards

I originally made a little book using a large jigsaw piece as my cover and drawing around it to make the pages. I wanted to get away from my usual colours (and my Distress Inks - Oh NO!) and so I went back to those old favourites - Brilliance Inks. I used one of the trio ink pads, Aurora, which is yellow, orange and pink, thinking "hot hot" colours for summer.
Then when I found out that Wendy had made a book cover using a jigsaw piece I quickly used some children's dominoes (wooden) to make this little box to put some bits and pieces in. It is just wooden dominoes painted with Lumiere's Paint, stamped in Stazon and then coloured with white paint. So simple to glue together. I have a pink one somewhere that I made years ago and it still stands and has never broken, as yet!
I have left the base so that you can see what the dominoes look like
