Color Block Diagonal Stripes Plus Bonus Cards

Hello, welcome to my blog!! Today I will be using a die from Pinkfresh Studio that takes up an entire card front. This die cuts even width stripes at a diagonal. I will use all of the stripes to create a card, I will then show you how I create three cards with one cut. This is a very versatile die, you can use all of the stripes or just a few, you can ink blend them, die cut out of colored cardstock or even patterned paper. The stripes could even be used as sentiment strips, the possibilities are endless! For my ink blending, I will be using regular Distress Ink. Let's get started!!
