bright stripes

This background has been in my stash since around this time last year when I spent some time using up the leftover strips of CS. I now have another box to play with, but in the meantime decided to use this one as my 2nd entry into the challenge at As You See It. With such a strong background I wasn’t sure what to add then had the idea of creating something that is similar to a design on a cabinet we have. After cutting my squares, I made a small rectangular hole in the centre and used navy strips to fill it kind of like weaving. These were popped up on some foam tape before adding to the rest. The sentiment is a GKD one that was in my stash of previously stamped sentiments. Apart from the squares, which weren’t difficult but were fiddly, this was a very easy card to put together.

My hubby likes it, and I’m not unhappy with it myself. My previous entry was all about spots and this one is all stripes so I’ve met the challenge in 2 different ways, which was fun to do. Personally I prefer this card.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your time and any comments you may leave.
