I’ve missed the last couple Papertry Blog Hops and I almost didn’t get anything made for this month although I’ve been thinking about it since I saw the inspiration post.
I knew right away that I wanted to mimic the strips somehow, but I don’t own the right inks. So I took a thin die from the pumpkin die (LifeStyle Crafts) and cut strips of Sweet Blush, Smoky Shadow, Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise, and Harvest Gold and created a pattern that runs both vertically and horizontally. Then to mimic what appears to be a rectangular pattern on the right, I stamped my sentiment (Star Prints) and die cut it with Spellbinder’s Classic Rectangles. I hand cut the border for the sentiment, popped up the focal image and adhered it to a Hawaiian Shores card.
Another birthday card for the stash!
wonderful design!! love it!
