When I had my Pinkfresh Indigo Hills 2 pad out the other day, this sheet of geometric shaped paper caught my eye.
I love the mix of rectangles, squares and triangles. They are relatively random, so I thought I would inject some additional randomness, by cutting out some of the solid white shapes with my craft knife.
This was pretty easy to do with this pattern since everything is straight lines. You just need to be careful not to cut out two shapes that might meet in a corner.
After trimming down my completed patterned paper panel, I backed it with a piece of black cardstock. I love how you get a totally different pattern and look with those new negative spaces.
I wanted the background to be the star of the card, but I needed a sentiment large/bold enough to match it. This sentiment from Paper Smooches' Inhale Exhale set was just right.
The sentiment was stamped on a piece of white cardstock, and I added a black cardstock mat behind it. I dithered a bit about where to place the sentiment, but ended up going with the bottom right.
I'm really enjoying playing with my patterned papers these days. Hopefully this trend continues, because I have A LOT of patterned paper to use up!
Hope you are all doing well, and have a good weekend. It's finally starting to warm up, it's supposed to be almost 90 degrees out today!
