Just Us Girls #522 - Trend Week.

It's time for Trend Week at Just Us Girls and Angie has chosen a great trend for us.
Stripes can add so much to a card whether as the background, a strip along the side or as part of the image.  For me it was background all the way.
I knew I wanted to use this stripe from a paper pack gifted to me by Nancy.  I cut an oval from Spellbinders Hemstitch to show off the Altenew flower colored with Zigs and the PTI sentiment.  I liked this so much I started pulling out other striped paper to make a few more.

How will you use stripes on your card?  The Design Team and our guest designer Betty Jacobson have some wonderful inspiration for you.  Make a card for our challenge and you have a chance at being a guest designer. 

I hope to see your card in our gallery.

OH myyyy! Bobby, this is absolutely gorgeous! Even though your stunning flower is the star of the stage, it doesn't overpower the beautiful striped paper! The one enhances the other perfectly! I can see why you love this pattern and I'll bet all the cards you made are as gorgeous as this!
