the sketch..
and my take on the sketch.....
If you have a copy of last months Scrapbooking Magazine you will find an article on creating these squares..
If I remember correctly I first saw this design feature on Leeane Pearce's blog HERE and I was captivated by how wonderful they looked...and then she did a canvas HERE which looks so amazing.. I think Leeane is a leader in scrapbooking and a fabulously talented scrapper!
So if you didn't get the magazine, I have copied off the article for you...
While I have done my layout using a square pattern the diamond pattern looks better I think.. And you need to use double sided patterned papers... so basically you need something to make your circle, (depending on the size you want,) and a square template to go in the middle to fold the edges down...(I used cardboard from my breakfast cereal box!) I hope these hints are a help, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Wow, this is gorgeous!! I've been seeing this technique pop up lately, but none as pretty as yours!! Thanks for the details!! ~ Blessings
