The new book at The Library Is The Art of Stripes , an illustrated fashion book.
I received this book as a gift and I love looking at the illustrations of great outfits .
For my first card (top) I stamped part of a big Alte-New flower stamp onto ivory card and paper-pieced it using three different stripy papers. I also used some lilac alcohol marker and nuvo drops.

Please forgive the photo of my second card - that background is actually white. Here I stamped and masked some Hero Arts pot plants and added more stripes to the pots. I coloured with Promarkers and added a sentiment, strip of paper and enamel drops.

Fab card! I really like the paper piecing. Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
I seriously could not love this more!!! I would love to case this card if you don’t mind.
Thank you. Please case it and enter it into the challenge at The Library!
Love the effect of the stripes, I would never have thought of using striped paper for paper piecing a flower image, it looks so cool and trendy!
The second one has a more classy feel, love the stamps you used.
Both cards are wonderful but the first one is genius...love how you did the striped paper piecing...so creative and eye catching x.

Your cards have won my heart...I'm obsessed with stripes! Love your unique floral and those potted plants are so cool Marina! (btw, yes to the pinning and thanks for the encouragement ;))
Two fantastic cards, the one with the stripes really strikes me, unique and eye catching!
Both cards are wonderful, but I would not have thought to do a flower paper pieced in stripes like that. Very cool!
