Valentine Stripes by Sarita Simmonett

Hello,
Valentine’s Day is speeding it’s way to us and Sarita of Little Princess Cards has created the most delightful card! We just LOVE how she used non-traditional colours for this Valentine’s Day card.  And, it is so innovated how she uses the Concord & 9th Stripe Builder stamp set! She has an eye for taking a stamp set and turning it into a gorgeous project!
Stripe card 1

I can’t believe it is into February already. I also can’t believe I’m still trying to recover from this horrid virus that has been sweeping the country. I’m pretty much over it now but it has left me feeling very tired which is why my blogging has been slow lately.
Anyway, I did finally manage to get into the craft room to play with this lovely stamp set by Concord and 9th called Stripe builder from The Foiled Fox. You must know by now how much I am enjoying playing with stripes, and these lovely wide stripes are just fab.
I could have chosen any colour but I really love the combination of mocha and black.

I think to get a solid inked stripe pigment ink or Versafine works well, but as I didn’t have any of these in the colour I wanted I have used Adirondack dye based ink instead in Mushroom. I quite like the slightly mottled effect and think it gives it a weathered look.

The background flourish is by Stampin Up, as is the punched heart. And the Valentine sentiment is by Hero Arts.

Well that’s it for now. I’ll be back soon hopefully in between resting x
