****Be sure to check out the Paper Smooches SPARKS design team call! I cannot tell you how much I LOOOOOOOVE being on this team-- and I would LOVE for you to join in the fun! Click HERE for more details!
Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! The first week of the month is always a TRENDS WATCH challenge.
This week we are inspired by the following photo:
I had so many ideas for this challenge-- stripes can go so many directions on your paper that I couldn't decide what paper or design I wanted to use! LOL! I also knew I wanted to use that striped wash tape on my card-- soooooooo many stripes to use!
I ended up making this sympathy card for a VERY SPECIAL friend. She has been hit with two sudden deaths in her family (both within a week or two of each other). I used some pretty Fancy Pants Designs Collecting Moments papers along with the PS Spiritual Sampler set for the sentiment, which was stamped on a PS Word Bubble die cut piece. ****NOTE: It took me 6 tries to get that sentiment right-- I tried to use striped/textured paper... DID NOT WORK! LOL! I also die cut some hearts from gold metallic paper using the Paper Smooches Wedding Shower dies (I LOOOOOOOVE this heart!). I finished this card off with a messy yet beautiful clump of May Arts Ribbon white twine and a mini clothes pin. LOVE! I hope this card brightens her day, and that God would comfort and bring peace to her and her family.
