The Chevron Chic Challenge

Ok, so over at the Moxie Fab World Blog, Cath is hosting a challenge that I just can't pass up...The Chevron Chic Challenge! I'm sure most of you have already seen it and know what it's all about. But in case not, it's all about the trendy trend of Chevron Stripes. You may also be aware of my latest Papertrey Ink stamp set, that I designed, called Background Basics: Chevron Stripes. See... this challenge was made for me to take it on. So, I pulled out my stamps and this is what I came up with...A simple yet trendy single layer card. I used a bright and fun color combo of Hibiscus Burst, Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, Lemon Tart & True Black. Starting with a Rustic White card base, I stamped two of the Background Basics: Chevron Stripes along the right side of the card base. Here's A Tip: To guarantee perfect placement... I started by stamping the Hibiscus Burst stripes, in the desired position and then stamped the rest.
Pulled out this fun sentiment, from Hero Arts Made With Love sentiment set, and stamped it in True Black. I love how the directions of the sentiment helps to guide your eye across the entire card front. To finish the card, I stamped a butterfly (also from the same Hero Arts set) in True Black and embellished with a few black rhinestones.

What fun! I hope you too will take on the challenge. If you do, and happen use your Background Basics: Chevron Stripes stamp set, please share your creation with me. I'd love to see!!!

That's it from me today. Have a good one and thanks for stopping by!
