Nature's Pace Lay-Out Inspiration

People often ask me where I get my card ideas. The answer is that it depends on the project.

• Sometimes I choose a stamp set and let the card evolve as I build.
• Other times I find a cute or easy lay-out and search for the right size stamp to use
• And sometimes I see a gorgeous card someone else has made and I just copy it.  By the way - copying is OK. Its called CASEing.  The acroynym stands for Copy And Share Everything and is considered a form of praise for the original artist.

I designed these cards to demonstrate an idea: how you can adapt one easy lay-out to either a vertical or horizontal format. Stampin'UP'! Nature's Pace was a really good choice for the Stamp set because it has 3 images all similar in size, some vertical and some horizontal.  It really gave my stampers some options for turning their cards into their own unique creations.

 

Other Project Details:

The image was stamped in Staz-ON ink on Watercolor Paper and colored with blender pens using Perfect Plum and Old Olive Inks. A little bit of White Baker's Twine finishes the image.
