Okay, total honesty these were made over the weekend, and I was inspired by the one-and-only Laura Fedora - she seems to have caused a stripe-ing-stampede here in blogland!
I pulled out three of my favorite Mondo flowers from Ellen Hutson, LLC and my mini MISTI to make this process about as easy as it could get. Here's how...
- Choose some fun colored cardstocks from your snippets bin - cut as many, in as many sized strips as you'd like. or need
- arrange them in your chosen order; create panels of stripes, and connect them on the backside with double-sided tape
- cut to size for your card
- stamp your image [I've used Versa Claire Nocturne ink - stamps beautifully, and cleans off the stamp so easily] onto your card front, leaving the stamp attached to the cover of your MISTI
- Add the stripe-y strip, and stamp again!

Whoa! This must be telepathy. Just this morning I was thinking about Laura's stripe video. And here it is in all it's triple glory. Wowzers. I better get busy.

What a fun and colorful way to use up some scraps. Reminds me of the t-shirts that were popular when I was growing up. :) Great job, Michele. And I love how rebellious you are! LOL My laundry closet is right next to my crafty space so I can create and do laundry kind of at the same time. I take breaks to fold. lol
Laundry can wait! These are beautiful!
What a great idea to use those little scraps! Using them with the large Mondo flowers is an even better idea! Wow!
Well little Miss Clever Gal, these cards are fabulous! I love those stripes and I love this idea. So cool, so pretty, so perfect. Yep, will have to give this a try if I can find some stamps in my stash that will work. Hugs, Brenda
