Hi Everyone - does anyone out there love the Chevron design as much as I do?? I simply love anything with the Chevron design on it - and I really can't say why. I guess it's because I think it looks so crisp and fresh. Well, I needed to make another thank you card for my boss, Jean, so I decided to use some paper from a 6 x 6 pad that I bought on Clearance at Michael's this week.
It's a very simple card but I think it turned out very pretty.
I used a kraft paper card base and covered the top with the chevron patterned paper. I used the left over piece of chevron paper but turned it over to the blue side and made a tab from it which I adhered to the left side of the card.
For the flower, I used a DCWV flower that came in a set of 15. Guess what - I had forgotten I had them, like a lot of the things that I have. I came across them while I was hunting something else and thought they would be perfect for this card.
For the sentiment, I used my Silhouette for the frame and the sentiment. The "thank you so much" was a separate file that I filled with black ink, printed, and then cut out the frame and the trim on the frame.
As I said, it's a very simple card, but I think it's a pretty card. Sometimes simple can be good!
