A week ago, I was writing that I never quite knew what to do with cover plate dies. About the same time, I was hitting the "confirm order" button on an order with a new cover plate. (Sometimes I wonder about myself!) But this one was so different and really cute...chevron and ombre all in one place!
I still struggled with it (but don't judge the plate on that - I even struggle with patterned paper!) I absolutely the series of blues in the Simon Says Stamp line, so I stuck with my favorite blues and kept the card simple!
I am submitting this to the current Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
