Welcome Back! It's day 2 of my countdown for Background Basics: Spots & Dots! I'm excited to share with you 2 more projects today. Yesterday you saw the Solid large strip used by itself on the ice cream cone card... today both cards show the solid and line large strips used together!
This is a really simply way of creating multi-colored backgrounds... I love that about this set! Spring Moss and Ripe Avocado ink look SO pretty together here don't you think?The strips are two rows of repeat images that are about 4.5 inches long and easily aligned when stacked!
Here is another card in a monochromatic theme showing them together. I put Mega Mixed Messages to work for this post... such a great sentiment set!
I added a little glitter to the center for some sparkle... it's very elegant in person.
I used Sweet Blush and Pure Poppy together here. Isn't it cool how tone on tone colors adds depth to the card!
I also wanted to thank you for all of your kind comments from yesterday's post! It's so exciting to hear how excited YOU are about Background Basics: Spots & Dots! Make sure to peek at Nichole's, Lauren's, Pine's and Dawn's Blog for their PTI Goodness!
Make sure to check back tomorrow when I will share a REALLY fun discovery I made with this new set! Thanks for poppy-ing by!
What wonder-full color combos, Lisa! i can't wait to get my hands on this set!!!
