Hi everyone.
This month we are adding our second Design Element to Group of Seven. Torn edges add so much to our cards. Not only are they the perfect way to add a snowhill for Christmas / Winter cards, but torn edges add something special to any occasion card. Try adding it as part of a layered design with coloured or stamped images (or both) that are revealed by the torn edge, or use a torn edge to create a mask for sponging a section of your card ... or as an element on a sentiment banner. Our group has come up with a variety of ways to add this Design Element to your cards. We hope you are inspired. :)

It's a great reference for all of us! :)
Torn Edge Card Samples
You all did such a great job showing off the technique. I've done it before but you've inspired me to do it again and again.
ReplyDeleteStunning cards. I very rarely use torn edges on my cards, but I love the look so must try it xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to add detail into a card and a torn edge can be used in all sorts of ways as has been shown by the fabulous cards from you all, and the three videos are really interesting and inspirational too. Looking forward to doing this one. x
ReplyDeleteThanks for this month's inspiration. I've had LOADS of fun creating things with torn edges! x
ReplyDeleteI have just put a couple of cards up, but the first one should have been put up several days ago, and as I came to add this second one I noticed it was not there so have added it now...obviously a senior moment..lol. Some really beautiful examples of torn edges on all the cards. x
