Today I am working on shut in cards for May.
For me, May always makes me think of Memorial Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world.
My hubby, a Vietnam veteran, always buys or sells poppies.
Using Sizzix “Framelits Triangle” dies I cut two of the largest with black card stock and two of the next size down from white card stock.
I used this as it doesn’t take up much space on a bedside table in assisted living.
On the black triangle for the back I scored 1/4” down from the top and applied glue to glue it to the front black triangle.
Inside I taped the plain white triangle.
To the other white triangle I stamped a sentiment from Stampin’ Up’s “Mixed Greetings” and an image from Stampin’ Up’s “Oh, So Lovely” with Memento tuxedo black ink.
These I colored with Copic (C9, R37, R39, YG97, YG99) markers and glued it to the front of the card.
What a great card Arlene - love that you thought about the fact that there is limited space to display a card, and used a wonderfully unique shape to accommodate it. The poppies are so delicate and look perfect on the small card
