May has arrived and we have a new hostess this month at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge blog. Samantha has chosen a color trio based upon the 2021 Pantone colors of the year.
Here's my card based on this beautiful color combo...
The card front was created by using a cover plate die to emboss rather than cut. (A simple switch of your "sandwich" to include a rubber mat ensures that you get embossed lines. Check out the manual of your die cutter for the correct plate combinations.)
I chose three colors of cardstock scraps in the challenge colors and ran them through my cutter using the plate in the traditional method to get the trio of diamond shapes. I decided to do the same with a scrap of white cardstock. I scattered the bits around until I found a pattern that pleased me. The Pantone colors were adhered flat to the panel but I did pop up a few white ones with foam tape. The sentiment and banner were cut from dies and adhered to the right side of the card. No embellishments needed.
I invite you to come visit our blog and hope you're inspired to play along.

This is a beautiful way to use the colour trio! Yellow and grey seem very popular these days in challenges!
ReplyDeleteJules that plate makes your card so interesting and I love your combination of emboss and diecut. And your yellow background makes the hello pop. Love it!
