Striped Thanks

I had a crafty play day on Monday, and I managed to tackle a few challenges. One of the challenges on my list was this one from Always Playing With Paper:


Check out those colors! Right up my personal rut. Wow, that sounded really bad. Let me just say I made more than one card with this color scheme, so you'll see it again, very soon.

Here's the card that follows the colors AND the sketch:


I got the idea for the stripes from this card I saw on the MFT blog.

All I did was cut strips of three colors of card stock into three widths: 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8", then stacked them onto a white strip of card stock.

You'll see me back in a day or so with another card with these colors. I kinda like them. A lot.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stuff I used: SU Basic Black card stock, free Thanks die from Taylored Expressions, and the following:

    We thank you to keep those stories of your personal rut to yourself. Great design and self made stripes and your column of stripes go up straight and not at a wonky angle on accident.
