NSD Challenge: Go Graphic

Hi SCer's, happy NSD! Vee here with your next challenge!

I want you to go graphic, use shapes like hexagons, stars, chevrons or circles in your design.You can combine shapes or use only one, it is up to you! I love using shapes to build backgrounds on cardstock. On this layout I went graphic with stars, in a variety of patterns, sizes and texture.
My background is mostly neutral, I used spray ink and ink to add pops of colors to coordinate with the pop of color in my photo.

Supply List:Adhesive; More White (cardstock);Ink; Mister Huey's Taxi; Mister Huey's Pinstripe;Pen;Classic Calico v.2 Wood Veneer Stars;Abroad Anywhere Thickers; Tiny Chevron ;(Classic Calico v2);Newsprint v2 (Classic Calico v2)

April says...

"It’s no surprise that I love working with circles.  On this layout, I decided to use o’s as circles, representative of Claire turning one.  I simply sized 3 different o’s and randomly placed them and cut with the Silhouette Cameo.  Side note: I just replaced my blade and I’m oh so happy I did, it made a world of difference!
After cutting, I simply backed the o’s with little bits of paper from the Abroad Paper Pad using this glue pen.  Since I was working with small shapes, I liked the smaller scale patterns.  Then, I added brads, thickers and journaling."

 

Supply List: Cardstock (More White), Silhouette Cameo, Abroad Paper Pad, Take Note Paper Pad (woodgrain), Abroad Anywhere Thickers, States Die Cuts, Precision Pen 03, Glue Glider adhesive, Glue Pen.

Post your layouts here by May 13th for you chance to win a collection pack from our stash of prizes!

Thanks for the prompt! I thought circles would be fun and happy so I paired them with a Happy Birthday word art (which is also graphic) on a card. http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/60681-word-art-happy-birthday-with-circles

It was fun to re-discover my circle cutters. Don't use them anymore but glad I had a chance to play with them again.
