Yesterday was a bonus day for the Clean & Simple Card Making class, and we were treated to a video by JJ Bolton where she showed us how to make a very cool die cut chevron. I am so glad I watched that video, because I never would have figured this out on my own. I used this week's Color Throwdown CTD225 colors for my card.
I have one more card today, and it is for this week's ColourQ cQc #174 and Case Study #126, where our muse is Amber. I followed Amber's layout and went with a circle cover plate, rather than the quatrefoil (mostly because I have used the quatrefoil a lot, and had yet to use my circle cover plate).
The current challenge at Simon Says Stamp is 'Anything Goes', and I will be entering all of these projects into that challenge.
