I must admit to being slightly horrified when I saw the latest challenge at Less is More - one layer and stripes?! Now I'm fine with stripes, I like them, but on a one layer card... eek!!! Honestly had no idea what I was going to do, and then I noticed Helen mention border stamps on her entry, and I had an idea...
I'm not sure if it's a bit of a cheat though? Are they really stripes? Let me know if it passes Chrissie and Mandi, I'll make something else if not... no idea what though!
I've used a set of Kelly Panacci border stamps that I've had ages, but I think I've only used once. The zig zag, wonky stitching and row of dots are all separate stamps. The bicycle stamp is from Little Claire, sentiment and cardstock is Stampin' Up and I added a black pearl on each wheel centre.
Off to have a huge commenting catch up now, I'm sooo behind with you all again!
