How about a sketch to help kickstart your weekend ?
I have an example to share, but I forgot to photograph it during daylight hours today, so it will show up tomorrow morning.
snowflake chevron sketch hip kit by kirstendrew, on Flickr
My eyes immediately saw "snowflake" created by the chevrons, but I also imagine sun rays, or just any photo begging for attention! I did not create the sewed circle on mine. I added embellishments in a rough circle shape. And I used a pre-made background by Vicki B. to add a mixed media look behind my chevrons, but added a few spots of extra ink to hold the extra 2 circular photos.
I was also thrilled to use my new Doodlebug winter collection. And then I ended up mostly colour-matching scraps to create the chevrons as I couldn't bear to cut into my new pp
The only new pp I cut into is the white with small snowflakes that makes up one of the chevrons.
**I cut my chevrons using a die that cuts nesting diamond frames so all I had to do was cut that in half and I had a chevron. This was super quick to create because I ran all the sizes through nested together, and only had to make 1 pass for each colour. You could also cut squares, and cut those diagonally, then "gut" the triangle to make a thinner chevron. Or you could use overlapping triangles/squares cut in half and you would get a more solid looking chevron with more colour/pp showing. I think less uniform chevrons - like hand cut - would be really cool too.
And apologies for the punny title. Once I thought of it I couldn't turn away.
