YOU....fill my thoughts

The teachers at OnlineCardClasses have given us a Pre-Class Challenge for the Summer Card Class 2. The class starts on Monday July 8th and will run for 3 weeks!

This is my second card for this colour challenge......this time also a top folded card.....

The Pre-Class Challenge 1 is a colour challenge, where we must create a card using at least 4 of the 5 given colours.

I have created the chevron arrows by using the smallest Sizzix Framelits "Hexagon" die. I don't have any chevron dies, so I had to think of a creative solution. 

I die-cut a hexagon piece in each colour card stock. Thereafter I cut of a piece of the hexagon shape with a pair of scissors. I did one first and when I was satisfied with its shape I used it as a stensil for the other two.

The sentiment is heat embossed using Opaque White powder from American Crafts.

I always prefer to use heat embossing for white sentiments. The reason is that I find white ink to be difficult to work with. And heat embossing always gives a very good result when using the powder tool beforehand.

That is it for now. Enjoy the day and hopefully the sun is shining from a clear sky whereever you are :o)
