Congrats!



Hello friends!  I have a card to share today using the colors from the Color Throwdown.  


For my card,  I started with select white cardstock, lovely lady cardstock, aqua mist cardstock, and Tim Holtz Metallic kraft cardstock.  I used CZ Designs Grad Hat wafer dies to die cut the argyle shape.  This die is a grad hat, but I am showing you how to use a piece of a die ensemble to create different looks.  


I layered Arteza foam tape behind the pattern pieces.  Then, I die cut several of the CZ Design Congrats wafer die  in select white cardstock and used Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to glue together.  I glued the word across the middle of the argyle pattern.  Next, I die cut the layered panels using Waffle Flower A2 dies and Waffle Flower Additional A2 Layer dies.  


I used Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive for the gold background panel and Arteza foam tape for the white panel.  I glued all to a top folding  select white cardstock  base.  For the embellishments, I used My Favorite Things Blueprints 25 for the tiny star dies.
