After a busy Mother's Day weekend I thought I would ease you in to a new crafting week with some simple geometric designs.
This coral card I gave to my Mum on her Mother's Day. She is not into lots of lacy flowers plus her favourite colour seems to be earthy tones such as this autumnal coral colour. The picture shows this a bit darker than real life but I hope you get the idea!
I started with a square card blank and then using my set of Square dies I cut several squares from Coral card for the background, normal kraft card then a brighter coral, print square and cut out the centre plaque from a scrap booking sheet.
On the background I added three strips of Washi Tape (yes I know - I use it all the time but I love the stuff!). Using two stamps - one of a blossom cluster and one of a leaf motif I stamped a background using burnt red ink.
After this step it really was just a case of sticking the various layers on the card.
I used brads on the plaque and also stamped the 'hugs & kisses' greeting.
My Mum loved the card and without being overly complicated I will enjoy using more geometric designs in future cards as they are very effective without being fussy - plus I have now got my square dies which makes it a lot easier to avoid wonky layers!
I hope you have a good week and please look out for some more designs that I am working on this week.
