Hi there! Today I’m back with another Feature Friday post for Concord & 9th using more of the gorgeous new cardstocks from their latest release.
This week’s Feature Friday topic was to pick a favorite ink and/or paper technique. So I was either going to blend with the delicious, new inks or strip it up with the gorgeous, new cardstocks. You know how I like to strip it up(with cardstock, of course) I’m a card making stripper. Is that still funny? Maybe it’s never been funny? Either way, I’m just going to keep saying that until it stops making me chuckle. Listen, I’m just trying to survive over here. Just go with it.
I trimmed strips of 20 of the new colors and adhered them on an angle. Angles make you look hip, don’t you think? The colors look so good when they’re all together like this, don’t they?
For the blooms I used the new Fresh Cut Florals Dies Edition 1 & 2 dies with white, vellum and Parsley cardstock. I added the gold glittered heart & “hi” from the Hexagon Label dies.
Check out the Concord & 9th Instagram & blog for more inspiration! Thanks so much for stopping by!
