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 so beautiful Faith I love the design and colours, and such a pretty floral image too, Kate x x
Love your card! Great paint strip idea.
Have to look up those video’s. Might pick up a Tric or two.
LOve the DL size and monochrome result -beautiful stamp and I much prefer the wonky lines to straight gives more effect to the design

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

Faith, it's gorgeous and your stripes are perfect the way they are! I am going to have to borrow this idea! I think it's awesome!
Your card is so pretty in those warm tones and simple stripes, Faith!
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!
I so love the tonal colours of your beautiful card Faith and the looseness of the stripes look fabulous x.
This is gorgeous! I love the colors and I am so glad you painted irregular strokes, they add so much character to the card!
