OWH VCMP - Zig Zag Card

Welcome to the Operation Write Home Presidents' Day Weekend Virtual Card Making Party!  I love participating in these because the challenge themes really get my mojo flowing.

First up this weekend is a challenge to use Zig Zags or Chevrons on your card.  I knew I wanted to start out with my EK zig zag punch but wasn't sure where I wanted to go from there.  Hmmmm, different colors of cardstock, but which ones?  Colorlab.mycreateink.com to the rescue!  I have lots of Stampin' Up cardstock colors and wanted to use some I've never used before.  I used the "Surprise Me" feature on the Color Lab My Create Ink website until I found a color combo containing one of the less used colors I wanted to incorporate - Summer Starfruit.  I ended up with a very masculine color combo which helped to turn this card into a Father's Day card using a rubber stamp from My Sentiments Exactly.

  2. This certainly bright, cheerful and fun! I think zig zags always added an element of whimsy. Humm...do I now have to pull out my zig zags and join in.....could be fun!
