Less is More - Stripes

Hey there!!!  Back with my card for the brand new Less is More challenge.  This week it is a one layer card challenge and we are to use stripes on our card.   Now... when I started out thinking about what I was going to do I had originally planned to use my PTI Distressed Stripes set.  But after doing a test run I didn't like how things were looking using the various stripes in the set.  I had planned to pair it with an image from the WPlus9Design set Woodgrain Silhouettes set.  As I was looking at the Woodgrain Silhouettes set I realized the perfect image for the challenge was right there!  However... I will admit that I'm stretching the idea of stripes a bit!

So I inked up the long woodgrain image from the set using SU!'s Certain Celery and stamped it across the card as you see.  I then stamped the floral image over that using SU!'s Pear Pizzaz.   The sentiment was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black.   After I finished the card I went to take my photos of it and as I was choosing which one to use I realized that something was definitely missing on the card.  I needed some rhinestones in the upper corner to complete the eye-pleasing design triangle!  Once I did that things looked much better.   My card layout is based on the current Sketchbook Saturday sketch.

Thanks for stopping by....
