Striped Hugs

 Congratulations to this week's Featured Stamper, Lynn. 

I chose this card as my inspiration:

LIST: Colours (gray, black, white, red, beige), Techniques (stamping, die cutting) Elements (hearts, encouragement theme, stripes of patterned paper between the sentiment strip and its red mat), black dots, hands

INCLUDE: colours (gray, black, white, red), horizontal stripes, hearts, black die cut sentiment in lower right of card with red frame behind white

MODIFY: heart shaped sentiment strip, add yellow and blue, stripes all over panel

EXCLUDE: patterned paper, background stamping

SPIN: square card

The strips were created from backgrounds I made earlier this week and I cut them in different widths to create my panel.

I cut two hearts - one white and one red and offset them to create a partial frame. I finished with multicolour/sized gems for some sparkle.
