Doodleology Retro Circle Patchwork Card

I explored the idea of using a large stamp with a circle pattern on smaller rectangles and squares to make a patchwork effect.

Using the nested rectangle picot dies and the nested square picot dies, cut mats from black card using the two smallest rectangles, the three smallest squares and the 3.25” square. Cut toppers from Clarity stencil card using the corresponding sizes of nested square and rectangle dies.

Stamp different areas of the Cherry Green Doodleology Retro Circles background stamp onto the square and rectangle toppers. Use a different colour for each (Versafine Clair Tulip, Golden Meadow, Green Oasis, Paradise, Medieval blue, Monarch).

Mat up the layers.

Working directly onto the front of a 7” x 7” white card blank, blend Spiced Marmalade Distress ink through the coordinating stencil with a Clarity stencil brush, moving the stencil and continuing until the front of the card is covered.

Add the toppers to the front of the card.

To finish, add some of Barbara’s word stickers.
