I cut different width strips using snippets of coloured card I found in my bits box and used a snippet of white card covered with the Stick It adhesive which made sticking them down much easier. I then backed this with a piece of dark blue card and added it to a roughly six by four card. I always use 8" square white base cards and cut them down to suit.
I added this strip to the centre of the card and using a freebie stamp I cut the hearts from snippets of red card and added them as per the sketch. I finish by added the sentiment which I stamped using Versafine Majestic Blue Ink and was a tad over inked because the pad is new and rather juicy. I finished with a few light blue sequins as I thought it needed a little extra something.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to see you again soon.

Fabulous card Pat, it's a great design and the colours are wonderful, not too fussy a designed for those folk who don't want much detail, I love it Kate x
A wonderful take on our stripe challenge pat and you've worked Jennifer's technique perfectly! I watched that video too but still to try it out! Love your fun colour combo; so bright and cheerful. Thanks for playing along at Less is More this week x
Beautifully vibrant stripy card Pat. The rainbow colours really have an impact and the design you chose really work well for that technique. I hadn't seen this video so was really interested to see how Jennifer did her cards as I made one 3 weeks ago in muted colours for my dt cards. Thanks so much for sharing the link - I didn't think of using a paper shredder! Anyway, thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx
Very fun take on the sketch!
AS soon as I saw this card Pat, I just knew you had seen Jennifer's video! I watched that one too (she really does come up with some great ideas, doesn't she?) You have done a great job here and, as you say, something different from the norm. I know the recipients will just LOVE it! Have a fabulous week my friend! Luv & Hugs. Hazel xx

Very cheerful and CAS Anniversary card, Pat! I want to try that technique sometime, too! It would be a great way to use up the scrap papers or even my pattern papers :)!

I love this Pat and will check out Jennifer's video for more info! The bright colours are so eye catching and you have combined challenges perfectly with this design. Great to see you at Less is More this week :)
Brilliant card, Pat. At first glance, I thought you'd used a piece of striped patterned paper. What a great way of using up your snippets! xx
