Yep, it's true. I am completely smitten with Chevron. It doesn't seem to matter what form it comes in. The fact is, I LOVE IT.
And so, it seems to mean that I must keep on making layouts that incorporate Chevron. In this particular case, I really love the juxtaposition of patterns and colors as well as the varying widths of the various patterns.
I've been visionating on this particular layout for a month or two since I saw some artwork by Catherine Dudley. Below is the piece that she created that inspired me to create the page you'll find a little farther down.
Isn't that the coolest piece?! If you click on her link, you'll see that she has a very unique collage style that includes linear design and color. I wouldn't mind having something like that on my wall and you know what, I may just work on creating something like it. (is that wrong??)
I have visions of glossy medium slathered over the tops of some favorite patterned papers and tapes.
My layout uses a lot of my washi tapes, including one of my favorites. (see that Red and white diagonal stripe? It has a second layer which is mostly covered up on this particular project which says 'No.' with a line where you can write something. Love that roll. You can get it here if you love it too. (I'm almost tempted to buy another roll because I really don't want to run out!)
In addition, I used the Glee Club kit from Studio Calico. Finally, the base is created using some vintage ledger paper from a French Pharmaceutical Firm in the late 1800's. Love using my vintage collection papers.
