Houndstooth.....

How often do we, as crafters, use houndstooth?  I have to admit that I do not.  So when I saw this challenge at Kraft + Plus, I knew I was in for just that - a challenge.  The challenge is to follow the sketch below, use kraft paper, AND houndstooth!  This is what I created:

I stayed pretty true to the sketch.  I did leave out the two little photos since they really cluttered the page since my center images were bigger than the sketch. 

Starting with kraft paper, I added gesso in a houndstooth pattern, stamped postcards on top, and eventually layered the paper pieces together!  This was a great sketch!

May I suggest that you join me on this challenge - especially if you have houndstooth laying around! Links are due March 30th.
