I drew the chevron pattern for this stencil in the drawing program of my Silhouette software and then cut it from acetate on my Portrait. I have found it really useful!
Here I daubed Rusty Hinge, and Wild Honey with a little Scattered Straw Inks through it before cutting the panel with a Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle, lengthening it slightly to suit my card base dimensions.
The die cuts are from All Occasion Dies (butterflies) and Simon Says Stamp (floral spray). The sentiment stamped in SU Pacific Point Ink is from Clearly Besotted.
It's for the challenges from Colours and Sketches
and CAS on Sunday challenge, Chevrons.
My son's dog Minnie was 'done' this week. Instead of the old Elizabethan collar, she is wearing a little suit to stop her from biting her stitches!
It looks kinda cool! Happy to say she is feeling fine!

Stunning card!
ReplyDeleteWow! Came across to comment on your LIM cards and this beauty stopped me in my tracks Chrissie ... love the colour combo and how you've used it. That silhouette machine sounds pretty clever. Poor little pooch - ours had to wear a baby gro back to front to stop him 'fiddling' when he was done!
