Here's my entry for Passion for Papertrey's Hip to be Square challenge. I've used square mats and layers on a square card to create this quick and simple card which I plan on using as a Good Luck card for a guy at work who is leaving soon to embark on a season on the ski slopes. Thought the sentiment suited his new life choice. I really like the minimalist look and it's great for male cards.
I really like the way the dies match so well and how quick and easy it is to create the car embellishment. It's been layered on top with 3D foam pads to give dimension.
The ink and card are SU Whisper White and Real Red.
Today is the BlogHop at Papertrey Ink/Capture The Moment and the challenge is to make a card using skills you've learnt. Well I'm very new to PTI and the reason I wanted to try them was so that I could die cut and stamp with co-ordinating products. I had my eye on this car set for months and months and did nothing about it! I saw them all over the net and now I really like it and can't wait to order more. I hope this counts as a skill for the challenge.
I'm also going to enter it into Allsort's 'Plain and Simple' challenge.
