Chevron SHINE

     The Moxie Fab Chevron Chic Challenge









I was intrigued.  



Normally, I can't even LOOK at chevron stripes, let alone craft with it.  It gets me all dizzy.
     



I found one way ...







   

  I loved making this card. I found it to be good for my soul. As I layered the sequin disks on the chipboard heart, I pictured fashion shows and movie premieres.  I LOVED holding each sequin in my hand and layering it carefully like scales.  


I have no idea why. 

It was weird.  







 Look at that SHINE!!!  I was mesmerized,... MESMERIZED,  I tell you!





I dry embossed a little on the trim, which warrants an entry into the Less Is More One Layer Embossing.  I think there is enough white showing. :)



     While I was waiting for the glue on the first card to dry, I started playing with a piece of festive chevron paper.  


I had to keep looking away from the 4X6 Chevron patterned cardstock.


It made me woozy. 



 I was stubborn....I WANT TO BE CHIC!!! 


I die cut a small piece and broke up the other strip with fringe scissors.


IT WEAKENS THE POWER OF THE CHEVRON



Check out THIS fun number:




     I couldn't choose which to showcase.  They were both so much fun.  I want to count them both for Moxie Fab;........


can I? :)



     I am also entering the second one in CAS-ual Fridays Buttons and Twine challenge.  

  
   All these challenges pushed me out of my comfort zone.  More importantly, I had fun!

   

     Thank you for peeking in! ;)

Looks like a fun card to do. You must have been so patient. Then again, if you were having fun, you probably didn't even notice the time.

cheers,
