Cut Paper Shapes

I attended our Guild's annual Winter Weekend from January 14 to 18, and was able to get a lot of work on my C&G done!

I have included my "rough" pages here. Using paper, ruler, and compass, I copied the shapes of crosses and stars, in a uniform size. I then traced these shapes onto 3"X5" cards, and cut them out with a craft knife, so I could use them as stencils on my coloured papers.








Although I found this exercise took longer than I had expected, I was quite pleased with the results. I can see there are possibilities for further work with some of the images created.
