As it was my turn this week to choose a theme I decided to go with something that I'm sure we all have in our stash. Something spotty and stripey. Be it papers, an image, embossing folders etc. For my card I made a base using Martha Stewart Cherish PATP. I used a gorgeous Sassy image and coloured her in with Promarkers and Derwent pencils, blended with Sansador. The papers I used were a freebie from a mag. I cut out the image using Spellbinders Labels 20 & added some eyelets and ribbon. I added some flowers made from an x-cut puch and added some Craftwork Card Candy, a charm, some gems and Martha Stewart butterfly.

For this challenge, I decided to try some digital paper-piecing. The image is from Lillyboo. I put together three patterned papers using 'sunflower' colours in Photoshop Elements, and then digitally cut pieces to fit the carpet, walls and bean bag. After printing, I coloured the rest of the image with Promarkers, The side panel and flowers use Coredinations card which I've embossed using a Cuttlebug folder and sanded. I cut the flowers using a Spellbinders die, and the leaves are punched.

I recently bought a pad of colourful papers, which provided the spots and stripes on my card. I’ll be hiding this one away from my OH. I’ll keep it for his birthday. A die cut oval, with the dreaded peel off to give contrast. I stamped the golfer from the Flippen Men series. I coloured him in, using Promarkers and watercolour pencils. I hope the glisten, with glitter glue shows on his glass of beer.

I have used my Martha Stewart deep edge punch and some spotty ribbon. The flowers are from Bo Bunny,sentiment from Craftwork Cards and little heart pearls are from my stash.

I made a little card for a friend using some of my new papers!
I stuck with a basic wee layout using my new echo park paper punched with my Martha Stewart Punch. I used a wee old image I've had for a while coloured with promarkers, added some ribbon, gems and used my new Rose dies for the wee flowers. The sentiment is a C.C Designs stamp.

Paula

Ive used Basic Grey papers, Art Journey stamp and a spotty ribbon!

My card has been made using the Mr Gnome digi from Digital Delights by Louby and the sentiment is from Tiddly Inks. The spots are a red and white ribbon that had been laid in stripes on white card. I have also used a striped paper from DCWV to mat the main image onto.

I often use spotty and stripy papers on my cards, so I thought I'd try something a bit different and create my spots and stripes using distress inks instead.  The spotty background was made with a Penny Black stamp, and I made the stripes by masking sections off with post it notes and then inking.  The main image and sentiment are Flourishes stamps, all cardstock is Stampin' Up Kraft card, all stamping/ inking using Brushed Corduroy distress ink.

I would never normally combine spots & stripes per se as I usually have quite a fussy style to begin with but I may just try this again!  I had a slight problem with my glue not setting - probably the heat - so I didn't quite do everything I wanted to do with this card. Papers are DCWV and a doily, flowers a mix of Prima, Wild orchid and poundshop.  The image is my own Eiglas  'Un bon repas pour deux' coloured with my Copics.

Vix

For this I used a lovely free image by Sureya who has an open colouring book over on Deviant Art coloured with promarkers.  Papers are digital from bearly mine, flowers were from qvc, metal sentiment I've had forever!
