Today is Adam's birthday. Since we were just there, I was able to leave his card and gift with Sarah. I used a new-to-me (NBUS!) stamp from My Favorite Things called "Trendy Triangles." It's somewhat reminiscent of an older Altenew stamp I have, but there are more triangle options with this set, plus I splurged on the dies. I've been waiting for an excuse to get it out.
I chose one of my favorite color combinations: red, white, and black, but added a nice gray as well.
I just love all the different designs for the triangles: stripes of several sizes, polka dots, graphs, open and closed. It makes for a really dynamic design---and great for a masculine card.
The sentiment is from The Greetery's "Sentiment Suite: Birthday. I added three enamel dots to mimic the dots in the triangle on the top of the card. The focal layer and the thin black layer were cut with my favorite "Master Layout" dies by Gina K. They were layered on a Pure Poppy card base.
I'm entering this in two birthday challenges: Simon Says Wednesday Challenge--their 12th birthday, and Seize the Birthday. There's always an optional topping. Interestingly, this time it's squares and I've used triangles, so I'll enter this without the topping! And, of course, the NBUS Challenge. *Edited to add that I missed the cut-off for the Seize the Birthday challenge which ended this morning!
