Once again the heat wave only lasted a few days and then the rain came and it has cooled off. The A/C has been on and off more times than ever before. We’ve had more rain than we need now but more is expected.
I pulled out an old die that mimics a quilt block. I made two cards with the same die and yet they look like they are different sizes. It’s the colour placement that makes a difference, in fabric and on paper. Both are standard A2 size cads, 4.25 x 5.5 and both card bases are exactly the same pattern. The die cut border was added to each.
Here they are.
Dark Panels and a white sashing with light background makes the petals look small.
Where as the medium pink with a dark sashing and light background makes the panels look much larger.
Trust me, they were made with the same die so they are the exact same size. I love to send these to my quilting friends.
That’s all for a cool Thursday, July 13, 2023.
Cheers
Violet

Those are certainly beautiful cards Violet! I do see the illusion of size difference... how odd but beautiful!
