You have the rest of the month to link up, so feel free to play as often as you like.
Our July challenge is Sensational Stripes
Stripes go with everything! Make them nautical, or pair with florals for a graphic look. Use stripes however you’re inspired! Use the inspiration graphic or head off in your own direction, just show us your stripes!
Hi everyone! I hope you’ve had a great week so far! Today I have a bright sunny Verve card to share with you. 🙂 I hope my take on our Diva Inspiration Challenge actually fits the challenge because my interpretation of stripes is a little loose. I used dots from Better Together along with white embossing powder and Color Burst watercolors to create the background for my card… thus the stripes… see the dots, they make stripes… right? I stamped the flowers from Be Blessed and watercolored them with Color Burst watercolors as well. The leaves are die cut using the Sprightly Sprigs Die Set and were also painted with Color Burst watercolors. Because I had so much color going on I stamped the sentiment on white and kept it simple by die cutting it with the Vintage Oval Die.
Supply List:
Stamps: Better Together, Be Blessed (Verve)
Paper: 90 lb Watercolor Paper (Canson), Sugar Cube (Taylored Expressions)
Ink: Versamark, Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Accessories: Sprightly Sprigs Die Set (Verve), Vintage Oval Die (Verve), Pthalo Green, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue Color Burst Powder, Mini Mister (Ranger), White Embossing Powder, scissors, Foam Squares (Scrapbook Adhesives)
