These were the ingredients I recieved with my 'order' for this month's challenge:
Create a card
Use green, blue, yellow
Cardboard and paint
3 different patterned papers
Plain cardstock optional
I purchased a pack of 5 ready made cards and envelopes from Spotlight in a pearl finish.
Tools used:
Circle punch to punch yellow dots out of paper
Finger tip knife to cut around paper once adhered to my triangle cardboard
Fiskars scissors to cut star out of star patterned paper
I used various sizes of chipboard squares I had in my stash but you could easily use a Fiskars Squares template. You simply cut your squares diagonally to form triangles.
I used Jo Sonja's Opal Dust as my paint element to give shimmer to my stars and alphas. I also used gold paint to edge my green triangles in lieu of ink.
Thanks for the challenge Lianne! This 'recipe' will be easy to repeat for a bunch of Christmas cards this year!!
