Hi, it's time for a brand new challenge over at HLS CAS and here is my card, can you guess our theme for this month?
No, well this month our theme is
To begin with this theme stumped me but then after a rummage through my stash and one failed attempt, I ended up with this. I didn't have any stamps but did have a cover plate chevrons die and a couple of larger strip chevron dies, but eventually went with a homemade chevron.
On a panel of card I stamped my MFT background flower stamp and embossed with white EP, then using a square die, cut these chevrons and inked them with DI, in Shaded Lilac, Squeezed Lemonade, Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers. The ink brings out the white EP in an embossed resist effect. The strips were then popped up on pads on a plain white base card and a sentiment strip, Altenew's Extra Special and a die cut thanks from Create a Smile were added. The die cut comprises of a silver outline die cut and a solid background one cut from a scrap of vellum. I used a scrap of fun foam to cut the 's' of the solid die to pop under the thanks to keep it level with the chevrons as I decided to let it hang over the edge.
