Make it Monday #226

Hello friends.  Playing along with Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday challenge today, where Laurie Willison shows some great techniques for working with stripes.  I loved her tip about running your fingers over your stamp first before inking it to get some of the oils from your skin on the stamp to get a cleaner stamped image...it really works!!  :0) 

I basically used Laurie's same layout for my card, and just switched out the colors to make mine a Fall thank you card.  Take a look:



I am still loving the Pumpkin Patch stamp set (PTI), and did a bit of the rock n roll technique with the same ink colors I used for my striped background (Background Basics: Super Stripes - PTI).  After fussy cutting my pumpkins out, (I masked the 2 in the background and pop dotted the 3rd one) I adhered them to the striped panel, and then stamped my sentiment along the angled top (Keep it Simple: Thank You - PTI).  Colors used in this card were: Pure Poppy, Canyon Clay, Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold, Classic Kraft, Fine Linen, Spring Rain, & Soft Suede.

Make sure you check out NICHOLE'S blog to see Laurie's great card and video, and to see lots of striped cards! :0)

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do! :0)

    It's true, great minds think alike! Have to say, when I saw your previous beauty with the pumpkin patch set, I put it in my cart. So glad I did! Just look at your new card with the rolled edges. Beautiful! And so are your stripes. The sentiment is just the perfect add to the layout! Lovely Autumn card!

    Love your card. I wanted this set and now, I am so sorry that I didn't get it. I love the background and how the words float across the card.
