Lisa Spangler spotted a “triangle trend” and decided to apply it to her cardmaking tasks at hand. Here’s what she writes in her blog (using our wonderful TCW222 Triangle Mosaic)
Have you noticed the triangle trend? Seems like it’s popping up everywhere these days whether it’s home decor, fashion, and most of all — cardmaking! So when I spied this triangle template I just had to get it and play!
I just adhered white cardstock to a piece of scratch paper with removable adhesive, then taped the template over top with some washi. Then I went to town sponging on Distress inks in squeezed lemonade, perfect peacock (from the Spring Seasonal Distress pack), spun sugar, and raw persimmon (from the Fall Seasonal Distress pack). I used these sponge daubers to apply the ink — perfect to get in small spaces!
That was so fun that I couldn’t stop there — just had to do another! This time I used the template twice: first I made one layer as before, then I moved the template to cover up the completed triangles and added another layer, then I misted the whole shebang with Perfect Pearls and water. Ta dah!
Just love how this came out! I didn’t want to take away from the triangle goodness on either card, so I finished them off with a hello from my Dymo label maker and a fabric Smash tab – love those too, especially how the pinked edge is actually *little* triangles! hee.
And I love these colors together — kinda reminds me of the desert you know? Like in West Texas or New Mexico. Sun, sky, and rocks. So pretty.
And! I made some more cards with the tempting triangle template too — this time using it as a mask and misting it with Mister Huey’s! Will wrap those cards up and show you soon — can’t wait!
We can’t wait either, Lisa. Please keep us posted!!
Gorgeous! Now I need that stencil!
So glad you like what I came up with using the stencil! I do love triangles, and this stencil just ROCKS. 🙂
Thanks so much for featuring me — it’s quite an honor! xo
This is such an AMAZING project! I just love how the paint blended together without getting all muddy- gorgeous card!!! Thanks for the mini tutorial!
