The Triangle Rule

In Day Two (woohoo, I'm on a roll here people) of my card making class, they talk about the idea of visual triangles on one layer cards.

As usual, I took the basic idea but then steered off the beaten path.

This card is not a one layer card and I'm not sure if one of the components of the triangle was supposed to be a sentiment but mine is not.

This is a little different for me and pretty plain in a non-CAS way but I went back and forth with placing more items on it and nixed that idea every time.

The beige-ish layer is a piece of ivory card stock that was tea stained. No big technique there - I brewed some black tea and "painted" the pieces with the brewed water. I liked the tea look better on an ivory base than a white base. On white, the contrast was too stark.

Side note: we have a lot of different herbal teas and such. You can play around with them and colors. Different tea types have much different distinct colors.

The stamps are from Stampin' Up and I just played around with these items in some sort of triangle.

A bit different for me but I'm liking the tea stained background. I really think I need to brew some pomegranate tea!

Have a great night.

I love this card! Very masculine. And tea is wonderful...I am currently loving this Lipton Green Tea with Orange and Pomegranate. :) Wonder how it would look on paper?!
