Tonight I'm playing with paper ... Dear Lizzy Neapolitan papers to be exact. I discovered a new Challenge ... the Muse Challenge ...
where this week's challenge is to make a card inspired by this fabulous design by Marion Vagg (after making my card, I read that she created hers with washi tape ... makes me want to go try that technique for another).
I loved the vertical patterned designs with bits of white and the contrasting letters, so that's what I incorporated in my design. I wanted wider bands of color, so I changed my card orientation to a vertical design.
I tried several colors for my Savvy Die Cut sentiment, finally settling on white for the best contrast. I decided to add a wrap of Hero Arts Craft Twine for a final design element.
Great take on this challenge. Very cute.

Love the card! I love the Dear Lizzy Neopolitan papers too. I've been playing with some from my prize pack from PC Mag. Great collection isn't it?!

Haha, I also discovered Marion had used washi tape after I created my card! Love the fun banner paper and that white die-cut sentiment is just perfect.
