Here's a card for the TLC challenge to create balance with big and small and it's also for the Paper Smooches Sparks Picture Perfect Challenge, based on an inspiration photo which shouted "60's retro" to me - if you want to see the photo, you can find it HERE. I used a large inverted square nesting die to make the card shape and then arranged some different sized inverted square die-cuts. I also used some different sized Nestie circles. It took a little bit of playing around with the shapes to get the right "balance" for the large and small! I added staples and a paperclip to portray the metal element in the photo. It's kind of a different style for me, trying to stretch myself!

I just love your retro design, Bridget!!! It's perfectly balanced with the squares and circles and the orange and gray color combo is sooo 60's!!! My mother decorated her kitchen in those colors way back when!!

Wow...a little out of your normal card range, in a good way! Very cool retro design, your Nesties were made for this! Love your take on the inspiration photo. Beautifully done, Bridget.
