Modern Colour Blocking

I'm a bit behind on sharing my DT projects for Seven Hills Crafts... we are cracking on with the decorating whilst I have Hannah at home to help as she starts a new job next week, I've got used to having her home from Uni so it's going to be quiet around here in the day again!

Anyhow, onto the cards and I have a set of notecards to share with you made using the Freeform Greenery set from Altenew. The bold lines remind me of 'lino-cut' style images so I went with bold and bright colour blocks for a modern look....

I was inspired by these pictures on Pinterest, love how the line drawn images overlap the coloured areas :) I chose which stamps to use and then planned each panel on some scrap paper.


For smooth stamping I adhered the coloured and white card onto a piece of copy paper, butting them up against each other, before stamping the images.


Then I cut the shaped panels around the stamping and used black card in various ways to add a mount to the panels...... I found a mixture of sentiments that looked good with the images too.


I hope you like them, they're something a bit different for me but I'm really pleased how they turned out :)

Thanks for stopping by
