My plan when I put the sketch together was to use bold patterned papers. I thought a card would still look fresh with small strips of those bold patterns. As you can see - I ended up going an entirely different direction. It always amazes me how the same sketch can look so different on different cards!
<MFT's Rectangle Word Window Frames are the longest, skinniest rectangles that I have - so instead of using them as a frame, I just cut the longer rectangles out of the front of my card using the medium window die. Sadly, the medium die and the small die together were a little too long for the card so I ended up just cutting pieces of cardstock to the right size for the diagonal stripes instead of a window.
The only thing not from MFT on my card were the mini butterflies - but how perfect that they have the same outline look as the rose!
I look forward to seeing you playing along!
