A PLACE TO START - 202607 - ANYTHING GOES W/Optional Twist : BLACK AND WHITE

Hello, Crafty Makers!

A Place to Start

Challenge Dates: July 6, 2026  -July 31, 2026

Anything Goes w/Optional Twist: 

 BLACK AND WHITE THEME

Last month, one of the promotional items that showed up in my Amazon Vine box was this wonderful die bundle. The bundle included the circle frame dies (3) and the butterfly dies (4). I needed to complete my review of the dies and my project for the July challenge. This was a wonderful opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!

My top layer was boring, so I used my WRMK 3D Woven embossing folders to add texture to my white paper. I cut a piece of craft foam and attached it to the back of my Large focal circle to create dimension. I also added two small black pearls to create balance on my focal.

I forgot to use my diffuser while embossing, so I ended up cutting out a second circle for my sentiment.

I trimmed 1/16" from the edges of my white layer to have the black border showing. I did not like the full white layer.
I used a black Sharpie to create the faux border around my stamped layer. I think it makes the focal more visually interesting.
