At Seize the Birthday this week, Linda has challenged us to stripes! I love stripes but I decided to incorporate my stripes a little differently this time. They are subtly in the background, thanks to a embossing folder. I'm still always a little surprised when I don't use a stamp on a card - lol. Does that happen to you?
Be sure to stop by the blog and check out the spectacular creations from our Surprise Party Guest Karen, previous winner Helen, and the rest of the design team. Hope you're able to play along with us!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteSuch a great color combo, Glenda! Pretty card!
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Glenda, love your subtle stripes in the embossed panel.
ReplyDeleteI love the texture the embossed panel brings to the card! Awesome, Glenda!
ReplyDeleteLoving the subtle embossed stripes and yes, I find it odd not to include stamping on my cards.
ReplyDeleteGreat texture from the embossing, love the colour combo too. I make a lot of cards with no stamping so probably the opposite for me :) Cathy x
