We Are a Perfect Fit

 



At Kate Hadfield Designs there are so many fabulous sets it is really easy to get inspired to use them. There are digital stamps which you can colour, coloured versions you can scrapbook or make into digital layouts. Papers, patterned overlays and doodles galore. No matter what your skill level there are so many goodies to play with.


In the Toy Box Stamps set there are 2 jigsaws, one is a complete 4x4 piece jigsaw and the other is pictured in the preview with 2 pieces separate. It inspired me to experiment with making this anniversary card based around the theme of 'perfect fit'



I used the complete jigsaw and overlaid the entwined hearts from the Lovey Dovey Doodads Stamps set. I use Affinity Photo to manipulate my images and you create layers in the order you wish to make the image more dominant. The hearts was placed as the foreground and jigsaw in the background. I lightened the background in a grey outline to make it less dominant as I definitely wanted the hearts to stand out more. Once I was happy with the positioning I printed it out. 

The background is coloured with Arteza Expert pencils and the hearts is Promarkers and Spectrum Noir Glitter markers over the top. You can apply these as a wash with a water brush and this adds sparkle and a muted version of the colour.

I cut 2 pieces out from the jigsaw and mounted the image onto black card. The 2 separate pieces were popped up on foam pads to add dimension.


The background paper is thin red card with a heart pattern from Everyday Overlays. I added to a plain white card blank and added some stickles glitter to a few of the hearts.


The sentiments I have made using my computer as I could not find anything quite right in my collection. I printed them out, cut into a banner shape and added a layer of black card underneath.

I have included them in this post in jpg and png format and you are free to download them if you wish to. Click on them to make them larger and download onto your computer.

I would appreciate it if you would link to my blog if you use them. Let me know if you have and I will pop over and give you some love.










One of the most fabulous things about being in this Creative Team is that we have free rein to make anything we want to using the sets in the shop. This is amazing for inspiring creativity as there are so many amazing packs to play with. I feel very, very lucky to be able to have this opportunity.

Over at Kate Hadfield Designs there is lots going on. Kate is really generous with her freebies which are readily available. If you sign up to the newsletter you get access to an extra subscriber area the Doodle Den where there are loads more freebies. There is a gallery full of projects by the Creative Team and customers and so much inspiration for crafters and teachers. I would highly recommend you pop over there and join in the fun.
