A Jillian Vance Design: Introducing Stripes 202

Hello AJVD fans! We are introducing our new Background Builders this week. What are Background Builders? These are background stamps that fit an A2 sized card. Instead of patterned paper, use a Background Builder to create your very own.

One of the sets is called Stripes 202. Although it was designed to work with Stripes 201, you can see that it also works well as a stand-alone set. The black and pink pattern at the bottom of the card was created with the diamond stripe. I stamped it horizontally in pink and then vertically in black, making sure I lined it up where the diamonds met. I noticed the remaining white space created a cool star pattern, which I filled with some small bling.

Next, I stamped the straight line from the set to look like a music staff, and then stamped the notes from the set Music Notes. I stamped the happy birthday stripe above and below the musical staff and then finished it off with bling. I can't help myself when it comes to bling. I love it!!
