Introducing Background Basics: Chevron Stripes Day Three

It's the third day of the Papertrey Ink countdown and I hope you are enjoying everything so far. Today, I bring you a couple more samples of Background Basics: Chevron Stripes. Background Basics: Chevron Stripes will be available April 15th at Papertrey Ink, along with all the other goodies that are introduced during the Papertrey Ink Countdown. Today is also the day that the fabulous Nichole Heady will be showcasing Background Basics: Chevron Stripes herself. So be sure to stop by her blog here and check it out. Onto today's cards...In yesterdays post, I shared a rainbow chevron pattern that I created using a single solid chevron strip. Today's first card features another rainbow pattern as well, but this pattern was much simpler and quicker to create. This time around I attached three different stripes to my acrylic block, inked them up and stamped all at once. So I was able to create this rainbow strip in six easy stamps. The stamped strip was attached to a kraft card base and then I stamped a sentiment (from Think Big Sentiment #3 also available April 15th) in True Black. I die cut the Simple Circles Border (also available April 15th) from Rustic White cardstock, attached it to the card and embellished with buttons and a ribbon tab.This next card uses the same combo of chevron strips. This time stamped in Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores ink onto white squares. The squares were cut using a couple Rectangular Label Dies and the new Alpha Blocks Die (Available April 15th).Stamped the sentiment (also from Think Big Sentiments #3), arranged and attached the rectangles onto a Fine Linen card base. Embellished the card with a few buttons and a die cut Flower Fusion #3 flower (the die available April 15th).

Well, I hope you've enjoyed today's samples of Background Basics: Chevron Stripes.
