Brrrrrrrr. The temp is 5 degrees F here in northern Illinois this afternoon (and dropping steadily) They're forecasting a low of -18 tonight! So, since my house cleaning was already done and a pot of chili had been made...I decided it was a perfect time to stamp. Don't you agree?
I'm playing along with the current challenge at Papertrey Ink, Make It Monday #146: Angled Backgrounds. It's been ages since I played along. I saw Ashley's video tutorial a few days ago and it looked like so much fun - and easy to do - so I gave it a try. Loved it!
Here's what I created.
I decided to go slightly retro with my card. I used some fun patterned papers by October Afternoon, then machine stitched them...zig zag, of course. I added 2 little banners under my PTI doily die cut.
This was so much fun to make, and not difficult at all. Go watch the video HERE and you'll see. :)
Thanks for taking a look!
