Chevron Congratulations

Hello everyone! Today I am filling in for Emma while she spends time with her family. I have a card today that can probably be described as clean and simple. I will let you all be the judge.

Before I share my card, I’d like to share what inspired me to make it – a toddler dress!

Chevron DressMitered Stripe Tunic

Chevron is very popular right now, and I love the color combination so I decided to see if I could make it in card form.

I started with a Soft Stone card base and I used my ruler to draw a line down the center with pencil. I worked from the bottom of the the card, to the top, starting with Hibiscus Burst. The blue I used was Pacific Point from Stampin’ Up, and the yellow is Lemon Tart.

I stamped my sentiment from one of my favorite My Creative Time sets, Gift Card Sentiments, with Versafine Onyx Black ink. And I tied a bow with Hibiscus Burst Saddle Stitch ribbon. Came together in no time!

Thanks for stopping by, have a blessed day!
