Hello Crafters!
I hope you are having an amazing weekend. We’ve had gorgeous weather AND we even managed to make it back to the lake for a whole 24 hours haha!
I did a card this week using some stamps that were drawn to be fun geometric shapes. I didn’t pair any of them with florals and I had serious remorse about it. I decided I could totally redeem myself with all the great geometric shape dies Honey Bee has. I settled on the Double Stitched Triangles and got to work!
I wanted to make my triangle a bold part of the design so I opted for some glossy black cardstock to really help it stand out. It’s hard to see in the photo but in real life it’s super shiny and looks really cool.
After I die cut my trangle I used it to find which of the Cosmos would look best in the arrangement. I stamped out two of them and some extra leaves to tuck behind. I copic colored the images with pinks and teals for a little something different. I love, love, love, color variation so I added a bit of the lightest yellow from the center to some random petals to make it unique. Once these were done I die cut them out too.
I also die cut the because sentiment at the same time. I opted to use the glossy cardstock for the halo around the because so it blended when it all came together. The second part of the sentiment was heat embossed on regular black cardstock. The glossy black is slick and I didn’t want to risk smearing the sentiment.
To bring it all together I added some scatter Moonlight rhinestones around the sentiment. This helps lead the eye from one area to the next without making it super busy. You can see that really cool shine from the glossy paper in this close up too!
You can watch the entire card from start to finish in the video below.
Thanks so much for visiting!
I hope you learned a little something to try on your own cards soon 🙂
