2018 card challenge – February card

I suppose it’s quite apt that despite having made this card weeks ago, it’s taken the Beast from the East to make it seasonally appropriate!

Because my take on the February geometric shape prompt has taken a festive turn, and I made my first Christmas card of 2018!

Card | Altenew Socahtoa Stamps

Die: Concord & 9th – Joy
Stamp: Altenew – Socahtoa
Other: Misti
Card | Altenew Socahtoa Stamps

I wanted to make a very clean and simple stamped background using just one triangle stamp – with the aid of the Misti I managed to make it more evenly spaced and straighter than I would have done freehand! And to keep that clean and simple look, I used my favourite festive word die from Concord and 9th which I cut several times from red cardstock to layer up. Also the little triangles are almost Christmas tree-like.

There’s always something very appealing about aqua tones combined with a pop of red.

It’s time for a new challenge tomorrow!
