Green Triangles

Today's card features lots of green triangles. I heat embossed them in clear, then watercolored them in different shades of green. From blue-green to very dark green. The sentiment is in German. I recently placed my first order with Create a Smile. Their latest release included this German birthday set. I send quite a few cards to German relatives and friends and even if everyone understands "Happy Birthday" I thought it would be nice to get some sentiments in German. They also carry English sentiments and came out with a cute trio of "birthday" dies. And their shipping is very reasonable. Check out their store here. Oh, I should mention that I paid for my stamps myself and they didn't give me anything for telling you about them. Just thought it might be fun for you to find about a company you might not know yet.

Here is my card. No embellishments since this is a masculine card.

Stamps: Mama Elephant (triangles), Create a Smile (sentiment)

Four (!) graphic triangle cards

Yes, you read that right! Today I have four cards for you! I think, that's a first!

I love geometric patterns and have many graphic stamps and embossing folders. So, of course, the current challenge over at Virginia's View really speaks to me and I wanted to play. The fairly new Pinterest Inspired Challenge features triangles so I pulled out a triangle embossing folder that I had never used.

Inked the EF in different Distress Inks, spritzed it, and "stamped" it on watercolor paper. Spritzed and stamped it again to get lighter colors. Then I made cards of my backgrounds. I thought the Design Teams could pick their favorite card from this collection.
