Building with Clusters

Hello all ya’ll creative minds!

It’s that time again for another Layering Challenge. This month we are going to focus on building with Ready-made clusters.

Layering with ready-made clusters is a fun and easy way to add dimension and complexity to your designs without having to start from scratch. Katie’s store offers a wide variety of pre-made clusters that can serve as a base for your projects.

  • To start, choose a cluster that fits the theme or mood of your project. This will serves as the foundation for your design.
  • Next, begin layering additional elements on top or below the cluster to add more interest and detail.
  • Don’t be afraid to mix and match elements from different clusters,
  • Play around with different sizes, shapes, and colors to create a visually appealing design.
  • Remember to consider the balance and harmony of the elements as you layer them together.

Katie has provided a freebie pack for this challenge.

Our creative team has once again provided us with great inspiration.  Creative Team Member, Valerie (nana_vg)  created this stunning look by combining 2 Readymade clusters together.  She has used these together perfectly as though they were meant to be.  Beautiful layering behind and on top of the framing!
