Triangle Card

Happy Autumn everyone!  It's the end of September and autumn is finally here.  I love the cool temperatures and the changing of the leaves on the trees. Mother Nature's color palette is beautiful this time of year.  We can use if for our card making backgrounds; and that is just what I did this weekend. We have a very good friend who is in the hospital and I needed to make a get well card for her, and here is what I came up with.  It is also my first attempt at a triangle shaped card.  It turned out a bit small, but I think cute.  I also made the flower myself from scratch.  I got the instructions from a pin I got off of Pinterest!!  So, here it is:

Here is the front of the card.  The tag says "thinking of you." I used three scraps of paper to cover the front, ran through an embossing folder, covered the joining edges with gold satin ribbon then added the flower, tag and butterfly.  Butterflies are my latest craze!  I just can't seem to make a card without finding a spot for one somewhere!


Now here is my homemade flower! It was pretty simple to do.  I cut the shapes from my Cricut using the George cartridge. Now I can custom make my own paper flowers for each card that I want one on from now on. YEAH!  Woo-Hoo!!!!

And, last but not least, is my little butterfly! Isn't she a cutie?  She sparkles and shines!  She has two layers for dimension.  I rollered the top one so it would look like she was flying.

Hope you like my card, or at least get some inspiration from it.  I got my inspiration from Card Creations magazine, they had a section on triangle cards. Thanks for looking.  Have a great week.

Hugs,  Barb
