H2H - Borders

Welcome to this week's Heart 2 Heart challenge! 

Borders, borders, borders... they surround things, outline things, separate things. Borders are dividers of something - be it colours, patterns, even countries, provinces or states. 

"On the Border" is this week's theme - and I decided to use a set of rectangular stitched dies to create my card for this challenge. 

I selected some cardstock in rainbow colours and went to work, cutting rectangles with stitched border dies. I wanted Lemon yellow to end up in the centre so I worked backwards from that colour. I had to eliminate some colours as I only had so many rectangles... 

This card came together very quickly as there was no stamping or inking involved - simply die cutting and then gluing the pieces together. I love how the stitching along the rectangles sets each rectangle apart from the next. 

Come and join us at Heart 2 Heart and show us how you use borders in your project.
