PTI's 7th Anniversary: Stripe Challenge

Hi everyone! Today's challenge at PTI's 7th Anniversary celebration is to make a card using stripes. After making my card, I have to say that Nichole is a devious genius! It took forever assembling my card! Now I can't wait to purchase the diagonal cover plate!


Do you recognize the main panel? I made it for the trading card challenge Nichole posted a few days ago. I decided to make a card out of it to save me some time. Well the background stripes took me quite a bit of time to get right. First the strips weren't wide enough. Then the strips weren't long enough. After cutting it out and glueing it down, I thought it was too plain (I originally wanted just white). So I started over, and watercolored red-inker on the panel and then cut into strips. Attached the main panel, then decided where to put the sequins. Geesh! I kept fiddling with that too!

Well that's it and I've gotta run. It's dinner time here and I can't play around with paper all day long, lol! Thanks for stopping by!
