Papertrey Ink 9th Anniversary Dress Up Inspiration

Shelly Saturday, February 13, 2016 chevron, papertrey ink, text block: birthday die 1 comment

Day two of Papertrey Ink's 9th Anniversary challenge involves making something inspired by a piece of clothing. I found this cool shirt on Zulily.com

You can find it here. I loved the chevron pattern and the unique color combo so I set about making a card mimicking those features.

The chevron pattern was easy to create using my MISTI and the PTI chevron stripes stamp set. I followed this wonderful video by Maureen Wong. It's called Modern Borders Backgrounds. I embossed my stamped chevron paper with a retired Stampin Up Sizzix distress embossing plate to give it more of a texture similar to fabric. I cut the text block die out of aqua mist cardstock and also smokey shadow adhering the smokey shadow one slightly offset to create a shadow. I'm not sure the sequins look right. I always have a problem with trying to place the sequins randomly. However, I really wanted to pull in that blue/teal color.
