Inkspirational #288 Designers Choice - Dots AND Stripes

 It's time for the next Inkspirational Challenge - #288 is Designers Choice.  Nonni is our designer this time and she would like us to use Dots AND Stripes!


I used striped DP on the bottom half of my card and dotted DP on the top half.  I also splattered with a black POSCA pen which created more dots!  I colored the stems and centers of the daisies with Copics.  The little strip between the patterns was made with a die from Stitching Lines by Ellen Hutson.

Inside is stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment.

Please join us and link up your striped and dotted creation!  

Check out all the inspiration from the DT at Inkspirational.   
You have until May 5th to link up your card!

I'm linking my card to:
Layered sentiment over die cut flowers, over center die cut strip, over DP!




Paper: White, Simply Chartreuse, Simply Chartreuse Pattern Pack - Papertrey Ink.
Accessories: Daisy Stems dies - Memory Box, Wildflower Stems #1 - Tim Holtz/Sizzix, Stitching Lines die - Essentials by Ellen/Ellen Hutson, Black Posca Pen, foam dots, Copics, printed sentiment strip from stash.

Thw white, lightly colored flowers look beautful against the green striped and dotted background. Your sentiment is the perfect finishing touch along with the black splatter.

The green layers really make those white flowers pop. Thanks so much for sharing your card on the AAA Cards Challenge.

A great way to use patterned paper, Julia, and I love the pretty strip dividing them! These daisies are some of my favorite flowers. Love the splatters!

Julia, your dotted and striped background is a pretty stage for your star-of-the-show daisies! They really pop against the green! Love this!

Gorgeous Julia! Fabulous use of spots and stripes and that little stitching line you added is lovely (so much so that this die just "fell" into my basket - a great backdrop for these wild daisies! Hugs, Kate

Love the stylish coordinating papers that you used! Very fun card, the daisies look very delicate and pretty.

This card is as 'fresh as a daisy'! Love how beautifully the spots and stripes go together.
