It feels like forever since I was making cards and blogging, but really it has only been a week or so. I'm back from vacation, and have one quick card to share before I need to get back to all of my neglected chores and laundry.
I had an idea to stack and combine two cuts from the PTI Triangle Cover plate--and I either saw it someplace or dreamed it up myself. I honestly can't remember. Anyway, when I sat down to play, this is what I decided to try. If anyone out there knows who posted this idea first, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due. I thought the background looked a bit like a trellis, and so paired it with some flowers from Cutting Garden and leaves from Embroidered Blooms.
I am entering this card into the challenge at Dynamic Duos as well as The Birthday Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, the Simon Says...Triangle Challenge, and The Trendy Triangle Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.
Thanks for coming by to see what I've been up to. I know I've been a little scarce, as I tried to keep myself and my family unplugged as much as possible while we were away. But, now that I'm home, I expect I'll be round to visit all my usual haunts as soon as possible.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Cutting Garden, Embroidered Blooms, Verve Big Wish
Paper: White, Harvest Gold, Hibiscus Burst, Soft Stone
Ink: Soft Stone, Memento London Fog
Other: Triangle Cover Plate, Turning a New Leaf , Cutting Garden Dies, MFT Fishtail Flags, Prisma Glitter
Thanks for Visiting
What a great idea! I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Joyce, I love the way you changed the orientation of the cover plate, looks so cool. Thank you for joining us this week at Dynamic Duos!
ReplyDeleteWOW Joyce, this is beautiful. I love how you did the 2 triangle plates. And your flowers look amazing. I hope you had a fabulous vacation!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! Great idea to combine both dies like that. Love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI think you must have dreamed this up yourself Joyce...it is so totally like you! I love the idea of using two of the plates...it does look like a trellis, and this week the colors are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home too! Stunning card, looks like your beautiful flowers are growing up your trellis background...just love the look!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like trellis with pretty flowers growing up it....great to see you back.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the stacked background...
and so eye catching in those colors!
Wonder what hubby would say if I tried for a hot pink/lime green trellis outside our house? :)
So glad you had a wonderful vacation...
Flossie and all :)...
but welcome home! :)
Just saw your comment on Tracey's blog (we would LOVE it if you would come for lunch - it's not that long a plane ride, is it? LOL!) and realized I haven't seen anything from you lately but when I get here, I see that I've missed a LOT - not sure how that happpened, but I'm here now, so watch for a full inbox! Love these colours together and offsetting that die is a really clever idea!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. Joyce! Those layered coverplates look wonderful on your pretty card!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Joyce - it is good to unplug and relax. love the overlapping triangles - definitely gives a lattice look. I know there were a couple of challenges this week to do with triangles (Simon Says Stamp?? and something else??) that you should link this clever design up to!
ReplyDeleteI was gone last week, too, but you got back into card making a lot quicker than I did. I'm still catching up and trying to find where I left my creativity when I went on vacation. Love the trellis idea. I know I saw it somewhere but. . .
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful card! The color combo is gorgeous and I love the triangle background and that bold flower! Just gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining us at the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge! :)

Welcome back Joyce! Love the overlapping triangles - such a great idea! You should enter that card into the Moxie Fab Trendy Triangle challenge too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, that really does look like lattice and it is such a good background for the pretty flower. Glad to see you back and hope you had a good holiday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat card--love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! No place like home!!! That background is so clever Joyce - I would never have thought of that but it reminds me of wicker / rattan pattern and is a perfect setting for that gorgeous bloom!
ReplyDeleteHey Joyce! Thanks for linking this up to the Birthday Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
