Make it Monday - Line Borders



I've mentioned before that I find crafting inspiration everywhere. 

I'm often inspired by clothing or home decor.  

Today's project, though, is inspired by something a little strange...

I was sitting at my desk, reading a generally boring-ish journal article when I came across a ven diagram - you know, one of these thingamajigs...

 

My crafty side kicked in and I began brainstorming ways to incorporate the ven design into a project!

(I'm pretty sure I just earned a million nerd points for developing a Ven diagram-inspired card!)

I immediately thought of the PTI Modern Basics stamp set for this project...specifically this image:



And here's what happens when Ven diagram meets papercrafting:



In case you're wondering...here's a little step by step for creating the pattern on this card:




Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!
