Less Is More #271

Hello!

Here at Less Is More this week we are challenging you to create a one layer card featuring a geometric pattern.  I love geometrics and there are lots of great products to work with.  Here are some of the ideas that I had:


I masked off a square and inked through a MFT stencil in Salty Ocean, Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass distress inks.  A sentiment from Mama Elephant completes the design.

Next up I stamped the Hero Arts Tiny Flags background in pink on the top third of a card and added a black line to give it some definition.  The sentiment is from Altenew and I stamped a few single triangles from Uniko to soften the white space below the line.

 
I finished by stamping triangles from Uniko's Triangulate set in blues and greens.  I masked a strip for the sentiment and that was it.  I am beginning to really enjoy making one layer cards :)
 
 
 
I could have carried on making geometric cards but ran out of time!  I look forward to seeing all of your geometric designs.  The DT have lots more inspiration to share with you over at Less Is More.
 
Thank you for stopping by,
 
Sarah x

  2. Sensational set of cards there Sarah. I do love them all but that last card has really caught my eye because of the amazing placement of the triangles. I must look up getting that set because they look really useful.
