Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Spots & Stripes

I's Saturday...so that means it's time for a brand new Penny Black Saturday Challenge...and this week, the theme is:

'Spots & Stripes'

 Our sponsor for this challenge is:


and the prize is a $20 voucher to spend in their online store!

The stamp I used on my card is 'By the cartful' (of course by Penny Black)...which I coloured using watercolour pencils, then added a little sentiment (from the 'Cupcakes' set by Hero Arts). I used scraps of spotty papers (from the 72 & Sunny' pad by We R Memory Keepers) to make a 'stripey' background...adding faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, please pop over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

    The background is really decorative, with happy colors. Like that the stripes have uneven lengths. Sweet card!
