Argyle Design

I have another card for the Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge - Let's Reflect. We have to take a card we made last year and give it a new look. I decided to make it in blue, so I can enter it in the Splitcoaststampers MISTI Monday Challenge - Perfect Pantone. The Pantone colour this year is Classic Blue, and the Blue Denim ink and cardstock from Gina K. Designs is a great match.

This is the card from last year.

And here is my new card.

To make this pattern, start with a square piece of cardstock. Mine measured 5 1/4-inches square. With the right side down, line up the top point and bottom point with the 6-inch mark on your Scor-Pal. Score at the 3-inch, 4-inch, 5-inch, 6-inch, 7-inch, 8-inch and 9-inch marks. Move the top of the cardstock down a bit from the top, still aligned at the 6-inch mark. Using the Scor-Bug, roll along the 2 1/2-inch, 3 1/2-inch, 4 1/2-inch, 5 1/2-inch, 6 1/2-inch, 7 1/2-inch, 8 1/2-inch and 9 1/2-inch marks. Turn the cardstock 90 degrees and repeat the scoring directions. The Scor-Bug makes a line of little bumps in between the scored lines to give the argyle look.

For the silver mat, use a white piece of cardstock and colour the edges with a silver marker. Mine measured 5 1/2-inches square. Attach the silver mat to a white card base. Mine was 5 3/4-inches square. Attach the blue panel onto the silver mat.

Stamp the sentiment (using a MISTI to double stamp), heat emboss in clear, die cut it and trace around the edge of the die cut with the silver marker. Attach it to the blue panel with some foam squares and add a few rhinestones to finish it off.
