I new right away when I saw the sketch that I wanted to use patterned paper on my card. So I started perusing my stash and found this oldie but goodie from Stampin' Up! I chose this plaid pattern then decided how big I wanted my triangle to be, cut a rectangle, then cut it from corner to corner to create my rectangle. Easy peasy, right?
I made this card a few days ago and was pleased as punch at how easy it went together. Then Tuesday night I photographed it. It's funny how things look different through the lens of the camera. Somehow the reality of what you have created is displayed in a way that you don't see with the naked eye. Well, in this case I saw that the angle of my triangle in no way matched up the angle of the lines of the plaid. It's all helter skelter! Doh! I still like it (and I'm pretty sure that whatever man is the recipient of this card won't notice) but next time I dig out the plaid I will be a bit more thoughtful before I put it on my paper trimmer!

Helter skelter works for me! I love the plaid! Sweet card!
A great masculine card! Still giggling about your babies & men comment. I think one could make a lot of jokes from that one.
Blogger has suddenly stopped sending me emails to notify me of your comments. This may be a temporary problem but it seems many other Blogspot users have also experienced this problem. Presently the only suggested "fix" is for the blog's author to comment just after each posting and check the "Notify me" box in the comment pane, so here goes...
This is such a great card Jen! I love the plaid!!! That was one of my favourite sets of DSP!! No man is going to notice if the lines don't match up!!! You're all good!!
I LOVE the plaid! And nope, no one who gets this will notice anything but awesome.
This sketch works perfectly with patterned paper and this is one gorgeous plaid card, helter skelter or not (and BTW the receipient is not going to even notice that).
Patterned paper is the perfect choice for the sketch. I really love your mix of colours that you've used to create your masculine card!
