Okay, so I went a little over board on the stripes. Couldn't help myself. I also kind of cased myself. Awhile back we had an IC challenge that had stripes in it so I striped Charlie. Well, I did it again only in a different direction. I think Charlie looks so cute in stripes being he is a slender kind of fellow/horse he can wear them both ways. What do you think? ..........card details.....
Stamped sorry charlie on w/c paper, striped him up or should I say across, shaded him and his stripes and colored with acrylic paints. Cut out with an oval coluzzle, sponged and doodled edges. Layered with another black oval that I painted the white squares on then sponged.
Ran a piece of black cs through the xyron, cut into strips and put on a white cs panel. Shaded the strips, sponged the edges put on a panel of black cs then brown with black dots digi dp.
Put this on a white card that I painted rookwood red squares on and sponged the edges tea dye.
Popped up both ovals and added the sentiment. Well, what do you think,.... too many stripes?..........as always, TFL :0)

I am not sure what I enjoy more.....looking at my sister's cards and wondering how she knows how to do what she does, or reading the comments (such as Schirmcat) and laughing out loud!! This is just awesome. Only you, sis, would make your own stripes. Great job, AGAIN!!! Thanks to Schirmcat, I will throw away all vertical stripe shirts I own. tfs.
hugs,
