LDRS Shiny, Sparkly Modern Geometric Cover Plates

I don’t know about you but I always admire the wonderful cards people create with coverplate dies, there is always a simplicity and elegance that they bring to a card. These cards were inspired by the beautiful patterns in the modern geometric cover plate dies. Bonus they layer so beautifully no matter what order you seem to put them in, trust me I couldn’t make up my mind.

YNS Challenge #160: Cool Inspiration

YNS Challenge #160: Cool Inspiration

This time the challenge over at Your Next Stamp includes a photo to inspire you. This challenge with its pretty pinks and greys are perfect for this card design that has been on my list to create since I first saw the slim geometric panel. In addition to the colour inspiration from this challenge the style is very much inspired by the awesome work of Leslie Tieu. She creates the most wonderful patterns and florals incased in beautifully watercolored geometric shapes. If you have a chance you should check her work out.

Also make sure to stop by the YNS Challenge Post and check out the rest of the DT projects as well!

Contact Paper as a Mask

Very happy to be back joining the Your Next Stamp team. Thanks so much guys for having me. Love how playful and fun their stamps are to create with. Generally speaking I find masculine cards a tougher card to make. However if I go with a cleaner style and a simple colour palette it usual tends to work out. For this card I pulled out my wave panel die which I have used so many times. However this is the first time I have used the die to create a mask and paint the interior parts.
