Don't get me wrong, I was super excited to see Pool Party! You may remember how I may have to hold a color funeral for this color if SU really retires it this year...but Island Indigo. Not so much. I'm not sure why I haven't caught on with this one. As I was putting my scraps away from last week's card, I found a chevron pattern I had made for a previous scrap page (that I don't think I ever shared) and thought I'd use this technique again for this card. Take a look at my card:
I made the chevron with the In Color DSP packs, First Edition, and Crumb Cake card stock. I added a wood button with Pool Party bakers twine and a Saleabration Pool Party button with Island Indigo twine. The sentiment is from Bring on the Cake. I liked how it mimicked the newsprint.
Here is link to the tutorial I used. The fun thing is I have enough to make four cards, so I'm going to make a little card set with them to give to a special friend!
Now head over and see what the rest of the team has come up with!
I LOVE what you've done this week! This looks like a lot of tedious work, but well worth it in the end! The buttons add so much interest too! ♥
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely...I just made some chevrons last night using the same tutorial, but haven't made a card with it yet...but you helped to inspire me to make a card...tfs.
ReplyDeleteI love the chevrons, they are so popular right now. the buttons are a great touch!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so cool, I love the zig zags! I love the patterns you used. And thanks for the link to the tutorial! ;-)

ReplyDeleteThis is a great card, Bobbie! Wonderful mix of papers :o)
ReplyDeleteWonderful graphic card Bobbie - love how you've got patterned paper chevrons (or zig zags!) and stamped ones too - and that button is the perfect finishing touch!
