Abstract Triangles with a Cute Monster!

Hey there - I'm here today doing a companion post with my friend Lin (Sending Hugs), both of us using a Pinkfresh Studio hot foil plate called Abstract Triangles. I made a Valentine with a letterpressed triangle background; you can see her gorgeous foiled card HERE.

Supplies: Paper - Recollections A2 card;

Spellbinders Betterpress Porcelain; scraps

Stamps - Hero Arts Flower Girls (retired)

Dies - Spellbinders Monster Love Pop (DOML-Dec24);

Hero Arts Nested Hearts (retired);

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Press Plates w/dies - Spellbinders A Little Message Sentiments

Other - foam tape

Earlier in the week I mentioned just opening a Pinkfresh Studio package from October. I'd taken advantage of some of their clearance items, including the Abstract Triangles plate. Sadly, they are sold out now but I had ended up putting two in my cart - oops! I thought of Lin who likes to hot foil & sent the extra plate to her. 

I tend to letterpress my foil plates more than I foil them! Same here - pressed it with Strawberry ink on porcelain paper. Trimmed it down with a stitched rectangle die and gave it a red mat. Added to an A2 card. Decided to make a Valentine card with added items from Spellbinders Monster Love Pop. A Valentine sentiment from a retired Hero Arts stamp set & some bitty die cut hearts finished the card.

Thanks to Lin for sharing a post day with me! I've known her for over 15 years through the old Hero Arts online group & blogging. Such a talented cardmaker & lovely person!! She generously sent me an embossed butterfly panel & some cuts of the Greetery Nordic Bird which I'll be using soon! Thanks Lin!

I'll add my card to Darnell's January NBUS Challenge #70 since both my background and monster are newly used.

Thanks for stopping by & I hope you'll check back tomorrow for my post celebrating the last day of the January Die Cut Diva Challenge.
