I've got a couple of Thank You cards I made to accompany some year end gifts I'll be whipping up this weekend. See this post. I loved this week's colors, which I interpreted as Spring Rain, Enchanted Evening, Scarlet Jewel, and Kraft. I was inspired by this card by Deanna--I loved the look of stripes with a sentiment masked in the midst of the stripes. I just started playing around, and this is what I came up with.
This first card uses Background Basics Retro, one of my favorite PTI background sets.
The next two cards use the chevron stamp from Waltzingmouse Off Beat Backgrounds. This is the first time I have used that Chevron stamp, and I love two things about it--first, it is as wide as the long side of a card, and second, it has a bunch of chevrons attached on the same stamp, so there is less to worry about with spacing.
All the sentiments on these cards are from Paper Smooches.
Thanks for Visiting

ReplyDeleteOf course I'm partial to the chevrons...;)
but they are all so great and versatile!
Love how that strip is masked for the sentiments! :)
Oh these are fabulous!!! I love both the stripes and the chevrons. I like how you used your stamps to make the background look amazing...and then not much else is needed for your card. So fun!!
ReplyDeleteAll fantastic thank you cards Joyce. I love the backgrounds you created. I am not familiar with Background Basics Retro but I really like the result. Paper Smooches is on my bucket list.
