Stripey Flower

 Hi and welcome!  It's my turn to design the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and I decided it was time for another slimline card.  Despite my original intentions, I ended up with a mini-slimline.


I had the idea to use this striped die and add colour to represent one of the strips on the sketch and the sentiment can represent the other strip.  Obviously, I flipped the sketch onto the side.  The flower was one I had left over from another project.  The sentiment was embossed with some old Crushed Curry embossing powder.



Thanks for visiting!  I hope you'll check out the rest of the DT cards and have a go yourself.


Products used:

Stamps:  Celebrate Life (Altenew/PinkFresh), Hello Lovely (Concord & 9th)
Ink:  Amalgam (Gina K), Versamark, Various Altenew inks for the flower
Cardstock:  White, Midnight (Concord & 9th), Summer Sunrise, Limeade Ice (PTI)
Dies:  Slimline Long Stripes (The Ton)
Accessories:  Crushed Curry EP (SU)

Cheers
Karren

    I love the elegance of this card, Karren! The crisp, clean horizontal lines with a pop of isolated color look amazing and your bloom is gorgeous! I also love that you chose Crushed Curry for your sentiment...so clever, my friend!

    I love the bold lines on this. They really make the flower stand out and the color you added between them is just perfect. I had no idea there was such a thing as Crushed Curry embossing powder - I thought I had the market cornered on obscure Stampin' Up! products but I'm obviously missing a few things!!! :)

    So elegant.
    I Love how you just added colour to those two strips,
    that makes it stand out more than having them all coloured.
    Thanks for choosing my card for a mention, over at FMS
