It's a sketchy Tuesday at CC&S ... What a fabulous starting point for a card. I've gone the patterned paper die cuts route but I had so many other ideas for this one too. The dies are from Simon Says Stamp and the papers are from Honeybee Stamps. There's not a lot more to say really... verstaile dies that I keep coming back to and uber-cute papers that I hoard. Hope to see your version linked up at CC&S!
I don't know about you but playing with colour and shape is incredibly therapeutic for me. These pieces are cut with a few geometric die sets from Simon Says Stamp, all on scraps of brightly coloured cardstock. I have some circular, some triangular and some square pieces but the key is that they are all the same scale. It's the scale/size of the pieces that makes them fit together so nicely into an imaginary 3x3 grid. Some pieces are double stacked and triple stacked to give a little more interest to what is a very simple concept of pieceing shapes together. I assembled my piece leaving lots of white space to give a light uncluttered feel to the design. I felt a narrow black border was needed to set a boundary between the collage and the card base which is also white.
