#the100dayproject : 2022 : 25/100 - with gratitude
Posted by Kerry Wills on
the main focal point of the card might be the large circle which is double layered; the aqua layer is flat against the card base while the floral layer has been elevated off of the aqua layer with foam tape. i used a colorful patterned paper so each card will be slightly different in terms of colors of flowers, but the overall design will be the same.

#the100dayproject : handmade cards 42+/100-2 : watercolor heart set
Posted by Kerry Wills on
as i've mentioned over the last couple days, i have some things in the works coming up. two of these things are virtual online events that i'll be participating in during the end of the month/beginning of december along with a slew of super talented makers. so many shows, festivals and events have been cancelled and i feel like this is the best option for me to try and reach more people while sharing more handmade happiness.

i was pretty jazzed when the inspiration wheel landed on pattern play today - i've been itching for a reason to use coordinating patterns. one of my favorite ways to do this is to utilize 6x6 paper pads. generally speaking, the colors coordinate and often share patterns/themes that mix well together. plus, the designs are smaller than traditional 12x12 pages so they look amazing on cards!
