Jules picked our Seize the Birthday Challenge this week - stripes! I love stripes - especially on patterned paper. I have a tendency to accumulate striped paper instead of using it so decided I should make use of some on this card. They suit a slimline card quite well, I think. I know these are more autumn colours but I quite like these colours together.
Please be sure to see what Surprise Party Guest Deepti Aggarwal and the rest of the STB team have come up with over on the blog.
Thanks for stopping by and take care.

ReplyDeleteGood use of the striped paper and running them vertical makes this card look soooo tall. Great for a big wish!

ReplyDeleteThose stripes look awesome as a slimline card, pretty colour combo too, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteGlenda this is a perfect way to get stripes (which I love the color combos)and that it is masculine!! and add that die cut and it is perfect for a wish big birthday card!
ReplyDeleteWell done for using some of your hoard, that’s my problem too! Love how you’ve used one of the stripe colours for the stem.
