One theme that recurs regularly in clean and simple card making challenges is ‘along the edge’. You have four to choose from, but the elements on the card need to predominantly be arranged on the edge of the card blank. This leaves lots of white space on the card which can be daunting for some. This week’s theme over at AAA Cards also throws in the wild card of ‘your country’. With the design team being from all over the world, we’re sure to have some fabulous cards for your inspiration. Here’s mine:
I wouldn’t say I was the most patriotic person in the world, so had very little in the way of British elements. That is until I remembered I had a ‘love London’ paper pad from way back when I was on the design team for Craftwork Cards. Even more helpful was that I remembered where I had stashed it a millenia ago. It was then just a matter of cutting the various paper designs to fit along the edge, distressing them a little with Hickory Smoke distress ink and fussy cutting out a cab.
Lovel English vibe to your card. I’ve always liked the black cabs, so roomy and I like how your card does them justice
What a lovely celebration of London this is Neil! I can’t tell whether your card front is narrower than the back and the patterns are on the back, or whether the pattern is on the edge of the back with the cab overlapping on the front, but whichever it is, the card is fabulous! Vicky 🙂
Everything is on the front, but your ideas are better!
Your chosen paper is perfect and the taxi in front of all, make a highlight.
