S & S Midweek Throwdown - Stripes
It's Wednesday which means Midweek Throwdown over at Stars & Stamps. This week we were asked to make cards with stripes. Here is my entry.
It's been a busy week so I went with quick and easy. I found this striped paper in my stash and I have no idea who it's by, but I decided to just stamp a butterfly by Inkadinkadoo and then I added a couple of colors with my Copics in a few areas of the wings. My sentiment is by Hero Arts and I ran my trusty Gold Leaf Krylon pen around the edges. The card was was embossed with the SU Fancy Fan folder and my final touch was to add four green gems on the corners. That will have to do it for me today. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. Hope you all have a great evening. I'm heading over to see all the other entries now.
