Triangle card for this weeks challenge


Good Morning Ladies, 

Please don't look too close at todays card, It's a long way from petfect, it would appear I have lost my 'Mojo'. 

After about 3 attempts at a more involved card, all I had to do was mask of the intricate text area of a stamp, cover one with a mask and then repeat, I was stamping onto Bristol smooth card which isn't cheap, after wasting one and a half sheets I gave up, evertmy attempt I got a smudge of a bit of text faintly stamped, I got so frustrated in the end I gave up. Please tell me I'm not the only one this happens to.!  I then spent another hour or so trying to think of another idea.  You know what happens when you open Pinterest. 

I rummaged through my dies and decided on triangles.  The papers I used were a £1 set of 6x6 papers I got from Every Crafts a pound a few years ago.  I die cut a few and backed them onto some 300gsm white card for strength so that the pieces would sit better on the card.    I arranged the triangles and adhered them, I added a few tiny ones to fill a gap. Then stamped a sentiment in a colour to match the Butterflies on the papers.  I die cut some tiny Butterflies to embellish the card and that was that. 

Here's hoping for a more successful day today!

I Hope that you all have a good day too,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra                                                                                  xxxxxx

  1. I know you’re disappointed with this card But I like it and with a change of colour and no butterflies would be a great man card too
    Maybe today will prove better 90% of the time I get a smudge and card ends up in the bin and it’s all very well these demonstrators saying “it’s only a piece of card” but we’ve paid good money for this card
    We’re on emergency grandchildren day today Daughter’s partner has had to go into work So I am starting work early in order that I can relieve husband!
    Take care everyone xx

    Lilian, take care. Healing hugs to you.
    Brenda, you managed to post your comment 🤭🤫 best not say more. Hoping you are alright.
    Michele, hope you didn't do too much over the weekend. You must take care.
    Going out a bit this morning over to Frost and then back home to finish the mess/tidying up I started yesterday, well that is the idea anyway 😉

  3. Hi everyone
    Your card is great Sandra, don’t be too hard on yourself, we all have off days when nothing seems to go right. I love the pretty papers and the tiny butterflies are perfect 😊
    Just back from having my car MOT, it passed 😊 Advisory of a nail in tyre but I was aware of that.
    Not doing much for the rest of the day!
    Have a good evening everyone. Sending hugs to you all xxx
