A Faceted Border of Blues & Greens

Blues and greens are my jam~

they calm me.

I HAD TO HAVE this border die but haven't used it enough.

 By adding glue before flipping the die over,  I was able to line up the faceted pieces.

 

 I used a paper piercer to push through the triangles I wanted to use.

 Here's the inside with a sentiment sticker that I had out~

Check out the following coloring challenge:

Just a little tip~I find it easier to stamp and then cut, especially with the stitched dies. 

If cut first, those gorgeous images miss the valleys of the stitches and sit on the mountain views.

 Thanks for stopping in on your precious Friday!

I was inspired by the following challenge to go with candy land stripes and dots for a Christmas card.

If inspiration hits, especially for a Christmas card, I'm pretty pleased with myself. 

I think it's worth setting aside vacuuming for one more day~

 I'm just sayin'. :)

 

Praying your day is peaceful~
