Designing any sort of new paper pattern is always tricky. It's easy to visualize it in your mind, but the actual construction can be a challenge. I remember designing a brochure once and being so pleased with the layout. But once I printed it and folded it on brochure paper, I quickly learned that brochure paper doesn't like to fold and crease as well as regular copy paper. Kind of the same thing here - cutting the diamonds proved to be somewhat inexact :-)
Don't forget you have until 6pm MTN time tonight to enter my ACEO contest for April!
Happy Early Birthday Granny ;o)
ReplyDeleteThis is really a neat design, The diamonds look great. Happy Birthday to your Grandma.
ReplyDeleteThis is so very pretty. I love the design. :-)
ReplyDeleteChristine, I forgot to say, the aceo turned out beautiful! A+++
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that Granny is still wearing high heels :-D Thanks for the birthday wishes, I am hoping to go to Edmonton soon to see her.
ReplyDeleteI think Marlene, for next time, I will make the white area just one piece, because cutting them all out and then figuring which way they should go was treally time consuming.
Thanks Crystal! I will probably get a book from the library for more inspiration on the eggs.
Oh, I also forgot (geez, I am forgetful lately!) this is a 5x7" greeting card, not an ACEO. But thanks all the same Stacy!
Beautiful egg. And wow Happy Birthday to your granny!
