The Meadow

Create an interesting effect with this cutting and spacing technique. Choose an image and simply cut it into symmetrical pieces. Adhere it onto a solid complementary color with even spacing between the pieces. Thoughts?

First, I adhered the Basic White panel onto the Highland Heather card front.

I then took the Meandering Meadows DSP panel and cut it into sections with 1/8" or 1/4" spacing. Keep the pieces in order: Begin on bottom and cut 4 strips: 3-1/2 x 1/2 each. Lay them on the Basic White panel on the card front. 

Next, the remaining piece is cut vertically. I trimmed about 1/8" from each side first to keep the image I wanted in the center. I then cut the top left piece at 1/2 x 2, middle is 2-1/4 x 2, top right is 1/2 x 2. I laid these out on the top of the Basic White panel. 

Once the pieces were positioned where I wanted them, I added adhesive and adhered them permanently. 

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
