I thought I'd throw together a card using scraps and these bridal flowers I bought from Michael's long ago. I didn't have a specific idea in mind for my card. I just wanted to practice two things.
I wanted to try my hand at stamping some stripes using the frame stamp in Luck of the Irish. Nichole Heady showed us how to do it on this post. She's a creative genius! I stamped my stripes in Berry Sorbet and Raspberry Fizz. So quick and simple!
Here's Nichole's example:
I also wanted to take a shot at adding some french knots to my card. Maile Belles made a great tutorial that I followed. It's really simple, but adds a great touch. I sewed the flowers directly onto the berry sorbet strip using embroidery floss.
All supplies Papertrey Ink unless stated otherwise.
Stamps: Luck of the Irish
Paper: Berry Sorbet, Stamper's Select White & unkown green scrap
Ink: Berry Sorbet, Raspberry Fizz
Accessories: bridal flowers (Michael's), DMC 742 embroidery floss, New Leaf buttons, embossed curves border punch (EK success)

This is very pretty Sara! Your stripes look great :)
Beautiful card! And I love those little knots!
A great job & very pretty. I love the colors, Sara. You are so talented.
Love it! Such a fun technique! I think it's great how you have the stripes at the bottom but also draw the eye to the top where you continued that theme with a small row of stripes.
Oh my Sara...This is so creative. I love the strip accross the top, had to enlarge the card to figure it out (then I read what you did!).
I never saw that post of Nichol's so I was stunned at your cleverness of using that frame to make the stripes! Pure genuis, and beautiful colors.
