Today I am blog hopping with the Around the World on Wednesdays crew and you are in for a treat as you visit these talented papercrafters around the world.
Our theme is "Let's Shake Things Up! The focus is to try something new. Well, have you seen any of those slimline cards around? I have but had yet to try one. Of course there are a few other things I've seen but not yet tried but when I saw a sketch challenge for a slim card calling for triangles I knew that is just what I needed to try. The sketch is SC814 at Splitcoaststampers.
- This really came together quickly once I decided which papers from the Artistry Blooms DSP to use. I cut a 3 1/4" x 8 3/4" piece of the muted pink - mango stripe and then overlayed a 1" coordinating strip over the left side. These abstract graphics are really a lot of fun to use and I especially like mixing up the graphic look of the triangles with them.
- This led to a Melon Mambo Card base 3.5" x 9 and Mango Melody to cut out three of the largest equilateral triangle from the set of Stitched Triangle Dies.
- I used my grid paper to make sure I attached the middle triangle in the middle of the card and then added the other two so that they the outside edges were 1/2" away from the DSP edge.
- I embossed the bold greeting from Ridiculously Awesome using Versamark ink and Gold embossing powder.
- Simple embellishments include Gilded Gems and the gold cording from the Forever Greenery Trim.
Here is a close-up view:
- Easy Peasy! Have you tried one of these yet?
