Stripes Color Trends Challenge

**This is my second post for the day!  Scroll down to see my DeNami blog hop project!**

Hey everyone!  I hope you are having a great Sunday!  We are playing inside today as I have a sick little one and some warmer temps outside!  I thought I would sit down while the kids were watching a movie and make a quick challenge card!  I picked the Stripes Color Trends Challenge!  I love the color combo!!

Here is my card...

IMG_2737_edited-1

I cut 3/4" strips of Pure Poppy, Ocean Tides and True black cardstock and attached them to a piece of kraft cardstock.  Then I ran that panel through my big shot with the Linen Impression Plate.  I cut a hole using a Circle Nestie.  After centering that on my kraft base, I traced the circle lightly with pencil and then stamped the compass inside.  I attached the twine and tag to the panel and then adhered it to the card base with foam tape.  Super easy!

Here is a closer shot of the texture!  OH and the little silver pearl for some added detail!

Here is the color combo if you'd like to play along too!  Click HERE for the challenge and details!


Thanks for stopping by today!



PS.  Peter asked which woodgrain embossing folder I used for my HB card over on the Cards Challenge blog!  That is the Woodgrain Impression plate from PTI!  HTH!
