For my card, I decided to use a set that I don't go to very often just to challenge myself a bit more. I do love the Art Deco feel of this particular pinstripe stamp image. As my description reveals, the stamp is from Bombshell Stamps' Pinstripes set. This set also makes for a great accent on a masculine card with a car or motorcycle theme. Use it inside your card or on the front. This stamp is the largest one in the set and it along with the others make for great accents.
Here's the color challenge image from which we drew our inspiration. One thought I had when I looked at this inspiration color swatch is to replicate the paisley look. Unbeknownst to me, I kind of managed to do that with the pinstripe image I chose.
Here's another look at the card, this time from an angle. The printed paper and cardstock are by Stampin' Up. The white cardstock is by Neenah. The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic alcohol markers. The front decorative panel of the card front is raised using some dimensional adhesive.
Hope you enjoyed this card. Hop on along to visit Kathi. Be sure and stop by to visit all of the gals this month to see what they created.
