I used Stampin' Up!'s beautiful coaster board (thinner than chipboard, but sturdier than cardstock) with the Hexagon Hive thinlits die; it cut beautifully. I'd bought, but not inked up, the Tape It stamp set, so that formed the starting point of my card. My Color Coach suggested I use Chocolate Chip, Calypso Coral and Wild Wasabi together - and I love it! Here's what I came up with; a masculine card, which (as you may know) is my favourite kind of card to make:
Stamps: Tape It, Starburst Sayings
Card: Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Coaster Board
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Calypso Coral, Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake
Other: Starburst framelits, Hexagon Hive thinlits die, Basics Glimmer brad, Finishing Touches edgelits die, Stripes embossing folder, sponge dauber

ReplyDeleteGreat card as always, Christine! You inspired me to get this thinlet so I hope to play with it this weekend. I really love the patterns you stamped with the Tape It set, it's a great visual effect with combined with the Honeycomb look.
