CTC#117 Triangles with stencilled detail.

Welcome back for the latest colour challenge, inspired this week by a great photo of a two Black and Red Broadbills from https://www.instagram.com/p/CDRMdBHA4i5/.

I knew I wanted to use a tool that I haven't used as much as I thought I would- or as much as I should, and these strong colours seemed just right for a card with some white space around the elements.


I used one of my favourite techniques - watercolour painting onto Shimmery White Cardstock. For this project I mixed a small amount of Crushed Curry at one end of each of the Real Red and Bermuda Bay panels. After the water painting dried (For some added depth) I sponged each panel with some of the great pattern elements from the new Decorative Masks from the Jan - June Mini catalogue. a mixture of tone on tone ( ie Bermuda on Bermuda) and some multicoloured panel


The Butterflies and Flowers Layering decorative masks are so easy to use and they are a great new size at 4x6". They are in the Jan -June catalogue.


the other Current packs of Masks include the Plenty of Patterns pack of 4 6x6", 



I used the Stitched Triangle Dies and cut out a as many triangles as I could so I  can create a few more simple but striking cards when I get a chance.


I don't like to waste any coloured pieces! I did end up with quite a few. The black triangle frame are cut by taping two dies lined up together and cutting them at once.
