When the “What’s Your Type” stamp set came out in the current SU! catalog, I will admit that I didn’t think too much of it.  And it took me a while to decide to purchase it.  Because as the year went on, I decided these geometric figures would make great background or border stamps.  (Not to mention the samples that are shown in the catalog.)

Today I finally decided to use the stamps to make a border.  This card is based off of a PTI sketch and color recipe that you can find here (you will have to scroll down a bit to see them).  I really liked the combination of colors that PTI suggested and the sketch was a perfect fit for this stamp set.  There are a lot of great sites out there that offer sketch and color suggestions that are not challenges.  And I forget to use them!

The color recipe I used was: enchanted evening, aqua mist, melon berry, kraft and linen.  I substituted these SU! colors – brocade blue, mint macaron, crisp cantaloupe for the first three colors as I had PTI kraft and cream.  I think I did pretty well!  After I stamped these triangles in the blue, mint and cantaloupe, I added the sentiment and then ran the card front thru the linen impression plate.  I added a bit of bling to finish off the look.  The kraft and linen were the perfect neutrals for these colors so I used them as the base and the layer paper.

I like the look of this card quite a bit – with a bit of tweaking this could be made more masculine or feminine for most any occasion!
