I'm so glad to be joining the Papertrey Blog Hop once again. I was bummed to miss it last time. This month we have a wonderful rainbow colored photo for inspiration.
I love those clean lines and the graphic pattern. Not sure I'd want my floor looking like that, but I do love the photo:) I found a striped chipboard frame in my stash, bought at the Target dollar spot a few years ago, that was perfect for my card.
You'll have to excuse the poor lighting in this picture. It's gloomy here and I couldn't get a good shot.
I used the new Bells & Boughs set to create a fun wedding card. The scored lines help frame the sentiment.
I also added two horizontal striped pattern images above and below the sentiment for visual interest. The solid blue rectangles were mistakes. I actually placed the stamp backwards on the block and didn't realize it until I stamped onto the base. Instead of throwing it out I chose to flip the stamp over (the right way) and stamp pink lines over the blue blocks.
Happy hopping!

This is such a creative take on the challenge. I just love it---your sentiment strip is perfection.
Great card! Love the striped frame and how you used the bells for a wedding card too!
This is awesome Sara. I love how you scored the lines to emphasise the beautiful sentiment and the little blue rectangles look great - a real happy accident.

Oh, I just love this. How brilliant to make a wedding card. I was just thinking to myself last night if those bells could be used as wedding bells. I love how you used scoring to encase your sentiment, and allowed a break where the sentiment was too big. I'm definitely going to try that.
Fabulous!
Gorgeous card. Love the little frame. Those scoring lines are a great embellishment. The sentiment you used is one of the best fonts PTI has released. Love the little stamped image above/below the scored lines.
Great design!!! Love the colors!!
This is one of my very favorites on the blog hop! I love the striped frame, wedding bells, and even your "mistake". Beautifully crisp, clean, and colorful!
Love the frame and gorgeous card, Sara!
Great card!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Such a great idea to use the bells for a wedding card and the striped frame is perfect!
Sara......This is just perfect for the challenge! I love your little "dollar spot" frame.....How wonderful that you finally got to use it! Beautiful card!
A wedding card - what a great use for that stamp set (definitely filing that idea away!). Love the sweet colors on this card.
So glad you made it. Happy to not have to miss this beauty. Needless to sat that striped square frame is fabulous! The perfect wedding card. So lovely!
Fun card! Love how you framed the bells.
Sara I love your card! That popped up frame is so pretty!
Really like this card, especially the embossed lines around the sentiment.
Sara, this is GORGEOUS!!
Oh I love the scoring Sara! This is a fantastic card!! Love the little bells!
This is wonderful!! Love the colors on the frame and that you hung the bells from it! The scoring at the bottom is just the perfect accent!
That was a happy mistake and now you know you can stamp a solid square with the backside of your stamp. I love how you scored the bottom of the card. Whole card is magnificient as usual. Sorry I couldn't play this time around.
LOVE this card, Sara! So moxie fab! :)
So pretty! Love your embossed stripes around the sentiment. Great idea!
