Trend.ie Little Bird.ie

***I've got two cards below, made especially for Artful Delight, please check them out here or scroll down!***


Chevrons are still a hot trend...in the fashion, interior design and card making industry they are still popping up. Skipping Stones Design is featuring the "Grunge" stamps this month, two sets full of cool textures, a stamper's dream. I created a chevron look with the zig zag stamp included in Grunge Two simply by drawing straight line at the down intersections of one color.  I chose to use a another trend hot pink and orange color combination, and topped it off with a cool and sleek die cut bird. I was inspired by the current Young Crafter's Unite Challenge: Hot Trends.
