Mondrian Valentine

I thought I give the usual Valentine's card a little modern twist - this is for art lovers.......

For the longest time I wanted to make a Mondrian card and the Keep it simple challenge finally made me do it. The theme is square. I used that cute little TAWS set called PIECES to help me out with the card:


The rest of the lines I drew in. The colored squares I stamped on card stock and cut them out. 


Lastly I cut my square "Mondrian" and mounted it on black paper to give it a nice defined edge. How would you like to have your own "Mondrian"? Just make one yourself......

I am also linking this card with the Time Out challenge - Love and/or Friendship - its a new challenge blog and is right now looking for a DT. They have some cool twists on their challenges - go over and check it out 

Addicted to CAS - LOVE - as expressed in the sentiment

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
