A brand new challenge went up today on Less Is More and I couldn't help but play along. The challenge is to make a one layer card (which I love!) with geometric shapes/patterns. I combined it with the current Color Throwdown to create this!
I started by stamping my sentiment in black ink. I used my Misti so I could re-stamp if it wasn't bold and black the first time. Good thing I did! I actually had to stamp that Thanks 3 times before it looked the way I wanted it to! After the sentiment was perfect, I stamped a few of the octagon shapes in different colors of ink. I kept it simple without any extra embellishment because I liked the look. There's just something so nice about the crisp, clean shapes!
This will be my last "live" post for a week, but I hope you'll be back for my upcoming scheduled posts!
Simply fantabulous!!
ReplyDeleteSuper CAS card. I love how you've used different sized hexagons and the bright colours really make them 'pop'. xx
ReplyDeleteSweet CAS design using the hexagons! Don't you just love the MISTI for repeat stamping?! I never seem to get a larger sentiment to stamp as vividly as I'd like the first time. Thanks for joining us at Color Throwdown!
ReplyDeleteThat font on your sentiment is gorgeous and teaming the flowing lines of it against the angles of the hexagons is a great design. A fabulous card.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Less is More.

The font and the octagon stamps are perfectly combined - this is a great layout and a really good example IMO of using CAS elements effectively together. Really nicely done! Hope you have a good trip to Florida x
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely super Rachel... simple and SO effective!
