Paint stripes?

Hi Everyone, I hope you have had some lovely sunshine as we have had. So good to sit out again in the sun and warmth, after having Autumnal weather of late.

My card today came about after seeing a video by Toni Darroch and me thinking I can do that! well, it's not as intended in the video, but my version. I thought I'd use different colours to what I usually use and here it is. I painted stripes, not as straight as they should be! in the matching colours. I stamped the image and the sentiment with Distress ink, painting out a little of the stamped flowers and then clear embossed. I finished with Crystal drops

    Oh, Faith, I'm so glad you didn't paint 'straight' lines across the background. It's so much more profound with the clear artist's hand look! Lovely color palette and a perfect stamp. Love the flower centers. :-D

    This is an interesting card. I prefer the stripes not too straight. I like using water to paint out a little of the stamping ink. very nice! Kate x

    Stepping out of our comfort zone can be daunting sometimes, but you did a great job with the colorful stripes behind this floral image! I have yet to give a try to making a slimline card, but you did a great job on this!
