I loved this pin the moment I saw it.
The colors are fantastic.
The quote is just wonderful.
And there are so many ways you could use it.
I copied it almost to a T:
My stripes are a bit closer together, and I added photos, but you get the idea. I LOVE the framed look and that it still is a nice, clean layout. AND it’s a great way to use up some cardstock.
At first, it looks like I just popped a piece of white cardstock on some patterned paper. But I really made my own using some extra cardstock.
I started by drawing a square on my 12″ x 12″ piece of cardstock that was 9″ x 9″ (so I measured in 1 1/2″ on each side). I trimmed a bunch of different colored cardstocks to strips that are 1/2″ wide. I then drew a diagonal line from the upper left corner to lower right corner to use as a guide line. The purple piece in the upper left corner was the first I added, and I only adhered enough to cover the square I drew first. From there, I used my ruler to draw lines (I just eyeballed the space between the strips) to use as guidelines so my strips would match up.
Hopefully the pictures below help explain this a bit better:
Happy Scrappin’!
