Geometric Jingo

Hello there,

I have actually made a card!!! There will be another one to come, but for now here is my masculine creation:

This was inspired by the challenge over at DieCuttin Divas whose challenge this week is to use paint chips. Unfortunately I do not have any of these lying around, so I made my own.

I used a small purple card blank and layered some chalkboard geometric paper over, leaving a narrow border. I die-cut a frame using X-cut fancy frames, large - with the smallest of the dies, and then created a paint chip effect using small ink cubes in various shades of green. Unfortunately the central shade looks a little bluer than expected, and one of the in pads collapsed whilst doing this lol. Leads to a very sticky mess and green getting everywhere!!!

Once the ink painting was dry I used some corner peel-off stickers to make a geometric focal feature, before adhering the panel to the card at a slight angle. I then added a die-cut glitter key that I received in an exchange and a sentiment sticker.

I would like to enter this card for these challenges also:

Audio Book Review

Jingo by Terry Pratchett

This is one of the Discworld novels. An island appears out of the sea, causing frictions between Clatch and Ankh Morpork to reach boiling point. Inspector Vimes and the watch have to try and ‘keep the peace’ on a very large scale and against plenty of well-armed men. Meanwhile, the patrician has an idea of his own to prevent full scale warfare. As I may have said before I do enjoy these Discworld novels, but only if they are on audio-book, otherwise I find them very difficult to follow. This book is no exception for the humour and novelty factor. If you are a fan of Terry Pratchett I would recommend reading this one – or listening to it instead.

Thank you for looking,

Hugz Tinz
