The Twinery Challenge Chevron and Green

It's that time again, time for another Twinery challenge.  WHAT?  The Twinery are now doing their very own challenges, with prizes of course and even a freebie you can print and use.

I'm going to be the first one to put my hand up and say, I know chevron is everywhere and frankly I still want to see more, I love it!  However I love green, green car, green handbag, painting my kitchen green.  But to craft with green, hmmmm not as easy.  Mainly because I associate green, as in green, green with boys and I only have hubby as a fella in my life as we have 3 daughters, so pinks, pink and OH what do you know pink.  

 

I did however have to make a birthday card for my dad, and so I got out some of our old house paint, YUP house paint.  Don't think you have to use art and crafts paint, I have always used this shade wall paint, it's my favourite haha.

Nothing helps me more lately than a sketch.  Having not made many cards lately, they are really helping me to get back into the groove of card making, less the images that I used to do.  I joined in with the new sketch at Retro Sketches again, this is my second time and I am finding their sketches very easy to take part in.

Here is the card I made :

 SUPPLIES : Kraft cardstock, white cardstock, Amy Tangerine pattern paper from Polka Dot Creative, Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Black Velvet, Cardboard, sequins, white paint, Felt feather from {scrAp this!} and The Twinery Twine NEW Neutral.  STAMPS : designed my moi, stamp set coming in May : stamps used, Banner and Happy Birthday. Give a Girl a...

Can I point out right away that I used the new twine Neutral and I love it, love it oh boy do I love it!  Don't you?  I know you do.  And you can always change the colour to suit you!  While this card might look a little busy it's actually very quick and easy.  The paint and splatters give an effect of more than what there really is.  Along with using stamps.  

The stamps are all from the same set and designed by me and being released SOON!  The cardboard was from a box I was about to throw out!

So don't be afraid to jump out of your box every now and then, have a look around your house for something you might very well be able to use!
