I was inspired by the book title for the stripes, and also the colors of the cover, although my DP is a much deeper red that the woman’s trousers. The poinsettias are a traditional Christmas element, but I feel that the look of the design is more modern than traditional? I cut the flowers from fun foam and added a few pearls and sequins.This card is for:
The Library Challenge - The Art of Stripes

ReplyDeleteI can't say if this card is more modern or traditional, but certainly it's gorgeous and (I don't know why) it remember me a solid family and a strong woman that keep all together. ...Fool, isn't it? :D
ReplyDeleteLove the deeper red frames with the stitched and scalloped borders, those white poinsettias and the striped background!

the modern twist you were looking for is a success Pia, the stripes sitting on the deep red are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on creating under pressure! I adore how you layered up this die and that you kept it white, plus the subtle stripes are the perfect match.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree that it's a modern style of poinsettia and looks great against the pink stripes.Thanks for joining The Library
