Die cut a bunch of triangles using Waffle Flower Crafts Color Combo dies. Of course you can cut them using a paper cutter, but I wanted precise images that only a die can give. Found that placing the sentiment and the shapes in the right place is really hard. I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment, but it was impossible to get the curve just right. Next time I'll use an acrylic block and see if that helps.
I added each triangle around the sentiment, trying to keep them about 2 letters apart, and then took a piece of tape and lifted them all up at once so that I could add foam tape underneath and then adhere. Learned that trick from Laura and it works like a charm. Added some clear gems.
I'm in the process of making more cards using these triangles, so stay tuned!
MOOD WHEN DONE: Delighted!
A friend of mine visited last week and we had a blast despite the rain. Did the JFK tour again and that is always interesting.
Have a great week!

love your choice of colors
what a fun card, Joan - reminded me of jester's hat when i first looked at it!
I can see the LB influence but it's your design that makes this so attractive! Now I want to try this too.
Joan, this is quite fabulous! I love that you used the die to cut those triangles - and the tiny little margin each triangle has because of it. Very cool!

You do geometrics very well. I look forward to seeing more.
This looks like quite the feat of engineering to me. I do love how it came out. Very colorful and cheerful!
So original...what else is new with you!? Stay well...glad you had fun last week.
