I think this is the first time that the Paper Craft Crew card map challenge has used triangles as the main image - how fun!
The trick for me was to find a phrase that would fit on the bigger triangle because somehow that's what this map 'spoke' to me.
I decided on the "just saying hello" phrase from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.
I love this set - it has an unusual font for its phrases and some unusual image combinations too. I can see so many options with the images.
I also decided early on that I would use the Forever Greenery paper as a background layer. I chose a pattern that I haven't used yet - it just seemed to work for the layout this week.
Here's the colors in this paper pack in case you want to have a perfect match. Tip: I often order paper packs at the same time as I order designer paper. That way I am good to craft when everything arrives - no mismatches for me!
- Garden Green
- Just Jade
- Pear Pizzazz
- Pretty Peacock
- Shaded Spruce
- Soft Sea FoamI
Although Stampin' Up! now has a pack of triangles dies, I don't own them (yet, ha!). So I had to cut triangles using my paper cutter - not difficult but it is a bit difficult I chose Soft Sea Foam as my base and for the banner strip and Garden Green for the ink and smaller triangle image. For a final touch of sparkle, I added three Whale of a Time sequins.
My card is very simple, to be honest. But it is still striking, don't you think?
Why don't you try this week's challenge. Triangles are fun so give them a try soon. If you want to see what the other crew members created this week, click here to head over to the Paper Craft Crew site.
