I'm channelling my inner Laura Bassen on this card I've made just for fun. Laura is the queen of the stamped plaid and I am constantly inspired by her amazing talent (plaid and otherwise!). I was also inspired by this logo I found on a truck on the highway the other day (don't worry, Kate took the photo while I was driving!)
I used Papertrey's Super Stripes (and I had to use a Cuttlebug plate as an acrylic block, because those two purple stripes are pretty long!). The sentiment is a Michael's $1.50 stamp.
ETA - decided to link this up to a challenge I don't think I've seen before - CAS (Colours and Sketch) where the challenge is rainbow. Hmm. May have to do another one!
HOLY SMOKES!!!! I'm in love!!! This is awesome!!!!!!!!!! Is that enough exclamation marks for ya?
ReplyDeleteMy oh my...you are amazing! Each time I see something this perfectly stamped, I'm sure that it is washi tape or paper....no sireee bobcat....it's another fine example of your amazing stampin' ability!
ReplyDeleteAnd knowing that this creation was a result of seeing a sign on a truck - WOW!
Gorgeous colors!
You've done Laura proud! fantastic stamping, Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!! My head swims in the perfection of the stripes... !!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlorious, Ardyth ... so flawless! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteRainbow plaid! Perfect channeling of Laura! I love it! I also love how you captured the logo of the truck on the highway, LOL! I'm usually alone in the car, so just "wish" I could take photos of things I see. :-)
ReplyDeleteA total tribute to Laura Bassen. The plaid is awesome!
ReplyDeletePerfection in stripes and colors :) also I love the way you get inspired and bring it right on ur cards, u r terrific
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous (straight!) array of bold lines! And I love where you got your inspiration from, too.
ReplyDeleteYou kindly left a comment on my blog recently, and I had been inspired by something (I forget which thing!) and you agreed that you never know where the next bit of inspiration may come from. So true! Thank you for your visit, too.
Oh I love plaid, and what could be better than rainbow plaid?! Awesome card! Thanks for playing along with CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Laura may have some competition in the plaid department! :D Awesome take on the truck logo and clever idea to use the Cuttlebug plate!
ReplyDeleteInspiration from the back of a truck! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun card, Ardyth! Love the colors too!
ReplyDeleteLove these stripes! Wouldn't this be fun to do with Washi tape?
ReplyDeleteThis is just fabulous--it is like you and Laura had a mind meld in the craftroom, and this stunner is the end result.
ReplyDeleteI often see cards where I swear the maker has channeled you, but here, you've channeled Laura perfectly, and kept it very Ardyth at the same time. Totally love this! I'll try to em soon and we can sort of plan a bit more for October. I am soooo excited. Bev
ReplyDeleteExcellent channeling of the amazing Laura, Ardy!! I'm so happy you found Colours and Sketch. That challenge has your name all over it! You are the Queen of the graphic Rainbow CAS cards!!
ReplyDeleteNice, colorful card! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just amazing....so fabulous that you took your inspiration from the back of a truck. Love you card.
ReplyDeleteAmazing card, Ardyth! I love the colors and how you created your plaid pattern...looks like Laura's impressed and 'in love' with your card, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat sentiment, too...what a bargain!
That is a very cool card! And I love that your inspiration came from the highway. That's a reminder to us all to keep a sharp eye out!
