JUST ADD STRIPES
Who doesn't love stripes?! I do except when they are on a t-shirt and make my boobs look twice as huge as they already are!! Apart from that, stripes rock, so this challenge gallery is going to look amazing!
I have plenty of stripey papers but wanted to try something with a new die I had just received. I was also inspired by a mood board for another Aussie challenge:
This is the inspiration for the Scrapbook Boutique challenge and I loved the idea of creating a stripey black and white card:
The balloons were stamped on white CS using Versafine Pigment Ink and then immediately heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give lots of shine. I fussy cut these as well and put them on foam tape. The sentiment was stamped on a rectangle of white CS and adhered to the card along with some clear sequins for a bit more shine.
And I've just realised that this could pass as a masculine card, which is something I hardly ever make, so that's a bonus!!!
The puppy stamp is from Mama Elephant 'Playful Puppies'. The strip die is from Waffle Flower 'Sentiments Die set'. The balloons and sentiment are also from Waffle Flower 'Balloon Messages. The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.
I'm also going to link this to the Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge where their theme is 'Animal Magic'.
And will also link to the Creative with Stamps Challenge # 3 where their theme is:
You have until next Wednesday 22nd June to link your projects to the Just Add Ink challenge and if your in need of any inspiration, please pop over to the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team have created for you. Your bound to find loads of ideas!! Look forward to seeing your creations in the Gallery!!!!!
Take care

ReplyDeleteLOVE black and white on a card and this one is full of interest and fun while remaining clean and simple. Great masculine card, too(something that always is daunting to me). You really nailed this, BIG TIME.
ReplyDeleteI love the background and your process for completing it! I would have just used patterned paper but you've really taken it to the next level and it works so well. A great interesting piece. Thanks for joining us at Scrapbook Boutique.
