Swirly Mondrian

This card is entered into the Crazy Crafters' Team Project Highlight this week.  Do take a look at all the great projects and vote for your favourites!

I was really happy with the Mondrian inspired card set that I made recently, especially the card box.  I knew I would be revisiting the theme sooner or later!

The Swirly Scribbles thinlits combined with primary colours give a crisp, graphic look to a card

 

The basic card is a 6" square of Basic Black.

I cut the long die in the Swirly Scribbles thinlit set  from Basic Black card stock and applied the lines onto a strip of  Real Red cardstock.  I then cut the same die with Pacific Point, Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight cardstock.  

I adhered pieces of the coloured cardstock into the Basic Black lines - leaving some spaces red.  The strip of red cardstock was wider than the Swirly Scribbles die, so I had to make a join.

I then adhered this decorated red strip to the front of the card.

This is how the dies fit together

I knew I wanted a circular label to cover the join on the front of the card and decided to use the larger of the round Swirly Scribbles dies to decorate the circular label. 

I wanted to inset the design, so I cut the circle and the Swirly Sribble at the same time from Whisper White cardstock.  I removed the Swirly Scribble and kept it for use on another project.

I cut another circle with the same Layering Circles framelit and glued the other white piece onto it.

I then the cut the Swirly Scribble again in Basic Black, Pacific Point, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight and Real Red.  I adhered the Basic Black Swirly Scribble into position on the circle and then glued in a variety of coloured pieces.  Since I wanted a smooth surface, I then adhered the Whisper White Swirly Scribble centre back into position and stamped the greeting from Tin of Cards. 

I used the Swirly Birds stamp set with Basic Black, Real Red and Crushed Curry ink to decorate the inside of the card.
