Spots and Stripes

I was going to post this one tomorrow, but didn't want to risk missing one of the deadlines, so you've got a double dose of me today.


This card started life using the inspiration photo from Runway Inspired Challenge:


And the fiendish theme from Less is More:

It's a really tricky one this week girls!
Not only is it 
ONE LAYER, 
but we are also asking you for 
SPOTS and STRIPES

Then I realised it loosely fitted CAS(E) This Sketch:


And the CAS-ual Fridays colour-blocking challenge:

CFC93: Use blocks of color in your Clean And Simple creations.
As always, projects are NOT limited to just cards :)

Happy Birthday from Creative Expressions Urban Beat
Stripes from Creative Expressions Urban Life
Oblong from Hero Arts LL871 Circles and Heart Fancy Notes
Dots made using a Dottorific Pen

    Yay, you're back! Missed you and your lovely creations!

    It appears to me that your mojo has been fully restored! Love the fun and whimsical look to your card - it really does capture the 'young' look of the inspiration photo!

    While you were suffering through hot, hot temps, we were suffering through ridiculously stinkin' cold weather with a ton of snow! Hmmm....heat....snow.....???
