Signature Elements

Hello. I was thinking about what makes my card "read" Sue Symens? Can you tell I have made a certain card by just looking at it? Altenew July Inspiration Challenge has a designer that I have often admired her cards, and usually I can pick her cards out just by looking at them. Why? She uses signature elements.

Tenia almost always uses washi tape, staples, good amount of white space and an elevated image. I tried to think of what I use most on my cards. Whites space, raised panel, usually off-centered image and sometimes a washi flag or stripe of washi down one side. I am not sure what others see but those are things I used today to honor Tenia in my card.

Using Altenew's Captivating Blooms set to stamp my image on both the card base and the ink blended panel.

I was inspired by Carly's card I saw on Instagram this morning.

So, what are your Signature Elements?

Are there some in my cards that jump out at you? Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is all about summer fun.
