I am thrilled to share my July 2015 Verve Inspiration Challenge card for the theme Sensational Stripes. I was so in love with this month's challenge colors, but very sad that I didn't have any paper in those colors...
But just like every stampaholic, somewhere buried in my stash I found exactly what I needed! I combined two different My Mind's Eye mini pads with a sheet of Authentique and came up with this rather lovely grouping. YAY ME! I took the scraps and cut some flowers and added some vintage seam binding to my stamped tag.
I wanted to layer this blue label die in somehow, but didn't like covering that beautiful grey paper, so after much agonizing, I came up with the idea to cut it in half and piece at the top and bottom. I thought it would have been cool to attach string to each piece, but that seemed to detract from my layout.
I decided a row of pearls on the top and bottom would really make this card fun! Lastly, I stamped the pretty little stem and stuffed it behind the flower. Love using my stamps to make embellishments!
And there you have it, my Sensational Stripes & layered goodness. I am so excited to have found Verve stamps. I simply adore the sentiments and scripture Julee creates! GUSH!
