And here is today's card:
The first product that came to mind when I was considering the sketch and the stripes in the collection was the retired Stylish Stripes embossing folder. I embossed a strip of Night of Navy cardstock, then sponged Whisper White Craft Ink on the stripes to bring them out. My only regret is that the strip of cardstock wasn't quite long enough to reach all the way to the end of the card. Oh, well...
I wanted to keep the card monochromatic, so my accents are in Marina Mist. I love the Stitched Shapes Framelits - it seems like I use them on most of my cards! That little bit of stitching detail adds just the right touch.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

ReplyDeleteLove that little bird, Cindi! You've worked in all the elements very naturally and I like that you stuck to a monochromatic colour scheme. It gives your design a very clean look. Thanks for playing along at As You See It Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI agree - the stitched framelits are excellent. I use mine a lot too. They've made a great 'nest' for that lovely bird. Using white to bring out the stripes is a great idea that's worked well. I quite like that the striped strip doesn't reach all the way up - it looks completely planned!
