Just Us Girls # 436

It's Trend Week on Just Us Girls and our host Lisa has chosen this:
Black and white stripes can add a dramatic effect to any card and I hope you will find a way to incorporate them into a card for this week's challenge.
I die cut the diagonal stripes from white and placed it over black after stamping the sentiment from PTI.  The flowers are from SSS, heat embossed in white and colored with Zigs.  This set doesn't have any leaves so I used some from W&W.

The Design Team and our guest Designer Karren Johnson have some wonderful cards for your inspiration.  Check them out and then make a card for the challenge.  If you are chosen Chic of the Week you will have a chance to be a guest designer in June.

Beautiful and striking card! The diagonal stripes and sentiment are so effective and the grouping of flowers ties everything together perfectly.

Yep, definitely dramatic, Bobby ... those stripes are such a great contrast to the softly coloured blooms ... lovely! Hugs, Anita :)

Great way to showcase the b&w stripes! And I love the soft colored flowers paired with it! Beautiful card!

Love how you stamped the sentiment on the white stripe and those flowers are so soft and beautiful! I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever see any pretty flowers other than on cards here in Michigan!

This is so striking, Bobby! Using the stripe die over black is a sensational way to use it and the pretty flower bouquet just pops against it!! Hugs, Darnell

Beautiful card. When I saw the challenge theme I wanted to use the MFT Diagonal Strip die and had not noticed that our cards were similar until I posted mine. Thanks for all the inspiration.
