Chevrons have been a big stamping trend this year. Almost every stamp company has a chevron stamp set and we've seen them used a lot. Usually they're used as a background element, but I wondered if they could become the focal image.
These two cards are the result of my experiment. Both cards use The Stamps Of Life Chevrons2Stamp set. Arranged in a particular way and enhanced with simple shapes, they become bold, geometric pictures.
Special thanks to Debby Hughes (Limedoodle): this card helped me see the trees in the forest!
ARDYTH, your creativity is well ... ummm ... hmmm ... TOTALLY AMAZING! When I saw these two cards, particularly the tree card, I smiled so big that my mouth hurt! I love your blog. Each post is a present ... I never know what amazing creation I'll find when I open it! :)
