I have seen a lot of cards on facebook pages using the 'Fractured' technique so I thought I'd try a few. Here are two examples.
Because my hands do not allow for much measuring and cutting right now, I spent some time making a template in my Silhouette Cameo software.
Next I printed off a sheet of little robin digi stamps, (made from an ancient wooden stamp a friend was throwing away), placing one inside each diamond on my grid. I coloured them with copic markers and cut them out.
I collected up an assortment of backing paper snippets and ribbon oddments and made a set of twelve cards pairing up the papers and embellishments as best I could. It is surprising how different they look and they will be a useful set of cards in my stash.

Hello Kate! Great to see you in the Playground - and what a fabulous selection of fractured Christmas cards. That robin looks perfect in the centre and you used some really lovely papers. And, wearing my Rudolph Days GD hat - lovely to see you playing along! BTW, I always have issues with the InLinkz Gizmo. It automatically inserts the title of your blog post in the caption box. You can just delete it and type your own name in - so long as you realise in time! But, as Helen rightly says - it doesn't cause any problems. Happy crafting - I reckon you're doing very well with your Christmas cards for this year already!

You did well to make so many Rudolph Day cards using the fractured technique. They were a great way to use up your snippets.
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for refreshments later. xxx

ReplyDeleteI haven't had a try at this card style yet but it's on my 'to do' list.
Thanks for joining us this month at the Rudolph Days Challenge.
