I have a card for this week's ColourQ #155. I was inspired by a card I saw in the Papercrafts Design book, which was also recently posted here. I wanted to try some color blocking using triangles. I used the smaller of the two triangle dies from Tranquility Trilogy.
When I have more time, I think I'll try this with some of the triangle banner dies. They are smaller, and I think it would be fun to see what kinds of patterns I could create. This design reminds me of the pattern blocks my daughters used to play with years ago.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Tranquility Trilogy
Paper: White, Autumn Rose, Lavender Moon, Simply Chargreuse, Lemon Tart
Other: Tranquility Trilogy Die
Thanks for Visiting
What a great way to use the color inspiration Joyce. I really like the look of the different triangles lined up together. Very good idea...you do really good with geometric shapes like the triangles and hexagons!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool---a great graphic looking card! These dies would be great to make a quilt card! Thanks for playing along and sharing this with us at CQC!
ReplyDeleteJoyce this turned out fantastic. I love the geometric look and all of the white space on your background. What a beautiful wreath you created. Thank you so much for joining us this week at the colourQ!
ReplyDeleteLove this Joyce. I am always looking or trying to find more to do with the TT dies. Great way to get some colors in as well. You have inspired me.
ReplyDeleteThis is SO COOL!!! You are pinned! May I CASE you?! I LOVE this idea! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all the different shapes - gr8 mathematical design.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, what a great way to use the colors! I have those dies and stamps, and I am saddened to say I have never used them. I tried once and got fed up and haven't pulled them out since (besides in the Christmas kit you sent us!). I have debated on selling them, but I really love the little box and think well I should keep the set since it coordinates with it! (although I've never used that either!)
ReplyDeleteJoyce, I love the color blocking! Those colors are perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Joyce! I don't usually reach for purple, and I'm thinking "why not?". The triangle pattern looks awesome and I can't wait to see what it would look like with smaller triangles:) Hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card. Love the colorblocking with those bold colors. Speaking of pattern blocks, next time you make the card try mixing it up with hexagons (6 triangles ) and trapazoids.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, love the fun colors!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! So many pattern possibilities with these triangles! Can't wait to see what you come up with when you use the smaller ones. :)
ReplyDeleteFun card, Joyce, I like your design! thanks for sharing your card with us this week at the colourQ.
ReplyDeleteso cool, Joyce!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fab Joyce! Love these bright colours in this fun pattern!
ReplyDeleteLove this! So very graphic, and a great way to incorporate the colors! If you do end up playing around with triangles some more, I'd highly recommend the triangle banner dies. I made a couple cards with this and had a blast playing around. Here's a link if you get a chance: http://www.notablenest.blogspot.com/2012/05/trendy-triangles-mim-65.html
