Isn't it interesting how one gets from point A to point Z, with many detours on the way?? First of all, this was my inspiration from yesterday: https://www.jossandmain.com/rugs/pdp...000520921.html
I used the stencil and about 8 different colors of Distress to replicate the look of the rug. I think rugs are my favorite piece of home furnishing, like a piece of art for the floor.
This is the card that I CASEd today: You Make my Heart Smile by jexterra at Splitcoaststampers
What I kept was (sort of) the layout, the splashes of color but the bottom of the card is left alone (pretty much) and a focal of the top (but not those gorgeous flowers). Many disclaimers here! My goal was to show how art has always been based on shapes. Early, early artists knew how to make shapes before they knew what shapes were. The stamp at the bottom right is a large stamp with the signatures of many artists. It was fun to not do a Christmas card; between baking Christmas cookies and then organizing cookies for a tea today for about 4 hours yesterday, I'm a bit Christmas-ed out. BTW, those life changing brushes are awesome!

This is so much fun! I love the geometric shapes! I know what you mean, I am still enjoying Christmas cards but I am ALSO enjoying taking a break and creating other things as well!

Jean, you are the most original and creative designer I know. This is FABULOUS! Caught my eye right away! Did you draw the shapes? Talk about creative! Your mojo was in fine form when you did this one. I just love it!
