Diamond Diva In Pantone’s Viva Magenta for Spoonflower

Go BIG or go home! I went big Diamonds. Five inches top to bottom. I added a linen texture, and an Ikat inspired effect. The effect overtook the texture, still it does add a rustic depth. The design would have been more modern and smooth without it.

I wanted to work with only two tones, and that is allowed. But I thought it might help my chances to use more hues from the given palette. Art directors and licensing agents will be looking, so it is a great opportunity for exposure. And for a lucky few, a chance at a licensing contract.

For that reason, I’d be super thrilled if you could share this post, or the link for voting. I’d love to make the top 80. Voting starts today, and is open through January 3rd. I need roughly 200 – 250 votes to make the top group.

Our next challenge, cross stitch, does not begin until my birthday. January 5th. That is when I will share the winners of Viva Magenta.

I for one am thankful for these short breaks in the challenge schedule. Year end came much too fast. 😆 And the February 2023 Creative Gathering is almost here!

Have yourself, a Merry little Christmas!
