When I first saw the sketch I gulped, because me and angled panels are not friends, but in the end I wasn't too unhappy with how this turned out. I used several Blueprints dies on this card - for the angled panel, for the stars and for the banners at the bottom.
Looking at the photo, I now wish I had lowered the word "celebrate" and had it connect with the star. I did try and detach the word die, but it was stuck down and not moving! Oh well, live and learn 😄
The word die as well as the stars are coated with clear sparkle pen and the two smaller stars are also coated with Nuvo Crystal Glaze.
When I cut the two top panels, there were no stitched lines, so I used my Stitched Basic Edges die to add some stitches. Because this die adds stitches on either side of the stitched line, there was a sliver of stitching left over. Rather than throw this away, I adhered it to the patterned paper as an additional feature.
Thanks for visiting.

Beautiful cards Karren and I love how you used that thin sliver of stitched card to add to the patterned paper. It works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI think your 'Celebrate' die cut looks perfect right where it is (we are so much alike) and I love that you chose these pink and white gingham papers for this card! Beautiful color combo, too...Great job combining challenges, Karren!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and design, Karren! I love how you used your extra stitching on the inside - it's a great detail. You and angles did great together!
ReplyDeleteYou rocked both the sketch and the throwdown colors! Lovely card! Thanks so much for joining us this week!
