Chevrons: Revised

Today's I'm sharing some cards I made. Not for a challenge. Not for an assignment. Just made them, because I felt like trying out a technique that had been swimming around in my head.

Chevrons are so trendy right now. I love the modern look of them.  So, I thought I'd give a new look to chevrons by arranging them a little differently.

I came up with this super simple yet visually interesting layout:



and, in case you're interested, here's some photos of how this pattern came together:

First, I die used my Spellbinder's Square dies, so cut out square frames that were 1/4" in width. You'll want to die cut two of each size frame.

 

Next, I cut the frames in half at the corners

Then, I adhered them to a sheet of white paper as shown.



Trim the pattern down and you're all done. Simple, right?!
I'm loving the simplicity of this pattern and layout! Hope you like it too!

Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI (Fillable Frames #1, Inside & Out: Thank You)
Ink: Impress Ink (Fig), Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
Paper: PTI (Rustic White, Vintage Cream, Berry Sorbet, Smokey Shadow)
Other: Spellbinders Square Dies
