Chevrons!!!

 Good morning blog world! It's Chevron Day over at CATHERINE AND CATHY CREATE !

 

Chevron is the first monthly challenge at CCC for September. Play along with all three and you could win some blog candy!

 

My project is actually a birthday card for my oldest and dearest friend, Cynthia. { shhh...don't tell her!}. Cynthia hates it when I use that term...she says it makes her feel old lol . We have been friends for over 40 years having grown up across the street from each other...and that's the closest hint I'll give to our age!

 

 Here's a photo of Cynthia and I taken last week when hubby and I went out east for a few days.

It was nice to finally get to see her new house {which I'm ashamed to admit she and her hubby have been in for almost two years!!!}. Gosh I wish we lived closer to each other!

 

 

 

Here's my chevron project :

 

 

{ Little secret: I actually didn't have any chevron patterned paper so I made some!}

 

I simply punched out several rows of ivory card stock with an EK Success punch {called Zig Zag} and glued them down to a strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock. When it dried, I trimmed off the overhang, cut a "V" in the bottom of the strip and inked all edges with Soft Suede ink.

 

Stampin' Up supplies used in this project include:

 

Soft Suede , Bermuda Bay and Ivory card stock

 

Soft Suede ink

Bermuda Bay ink

Coastal Cabana ink

 

Apothecary Art stamp set { #125527}

Stampin ' Up Blender pen

 

Attic Boutique paper {#125407}
