TERRIFIC TIP TUESDAY 8-5-14 Enhance Your Shape!

No . . . I'm not talking about an exercise program............. :-)

Shape is what art is all about!  So here's one way to enhance your shape . . . 

This fireworks-like stamp image  features a "star" shape.  How can you make that even better?  You could color one in ......... You can stamp another image and cut out a star, mounting it . . . (Can you see those on the card above?)

But how about adding something three-dimensional?  How about adding something PLUS something ELSE, three-dimensional?  This not only adds more in the way of a repeated design, but it adds texture, as well.  By adding a couple of stars from the "Chalk It Up" Assortment, below, you can see how shape, color and texture are all multiplied here.......

Then by adding some White Enamel Stars, the same shape is enriched yet again, with a different color and texture.  

Think of other shapes easily enhanced ......... hearts, arrows, chevrons, simple circles, triangles...........

Your artist's eye LOVES to see repetition of shape . . .

Enrich and enhance your designs with added, complimenting embellishments!

Fun, creative, and oh, so artsy!
