Mint Striped Gift Bag for JAI #316

 Happy Friday everyone and welcome! It's been a chilly week. Winter - cold, wet, short days....on Tuesday we will have the Shortest Day and - hooray as that is the beginning of the countdown til Spring with the days getting longer again :-)

And we have a brand new challenge at Just Add Ink for you to enjoy. Patrice has suggested a fabulous theme for us all to use - to Just Add.....Stripes! There are so many ways you can use stripes in your crafting!!  Our lovely team have created amazing samples to inspire you so I hope you can take a moment to pop over and have a look.

This was my first play with the new Sunshine Sayings stamp and matching Thinlits.  I finally decided on Mint Macaron striped DSP for the bag and also oadopted some "stripes" for the tag greeting. This was a new colour combo for me too and is one I might explore again :-)

 

With all the lovely silver, photography was a bit tricky. The "sun" is cut with the Sunburst Framelit and trimmed. Next,  I stamped a few of the "brushstrokes" image that comes with the set in pinks and used the flower framelit to cut through it and added a silver version offset slightly. To create the Mambo twine I pulled apart some of the Mambo and Black twisted twine that came in a combo pack.
