My first thought was to use red, white and blue for the 4th of July holiday, but I decided to go in a completely different direction. I wanted a feminine card with clean lines/stripes.
My stripes are very subtle. I used a Stripes Cover Plate die, but instead of using the frame portion of the die cut, I used the strips that were cut out of the cover plate. Then I added some die cut leaves and a few ribbon rosettes. I'm really pleased with the results. It was exactly what I had in mind when I started.
YES...once in a while that actually happens!
Anyway, I hope you'll click on over to the Seize The Birthday challenge blog and see what my ever-so-talented team mates have created. Then...join in. We love to see what you create!

ReplyDeleteI like that you went outside the box and did something the other way yet still incorporated the stripes! Lovely card as usual Susie! Enjoy the 4th!
