This is the first card I've ever made for my DT gallery at Studio Calico so TFL! Cards are challenging for me which is why I wanted to give it a try and I'm looking forward to gleaning lots of card making wisdom from SCS
For this one, I used only the Photo Booth add on from Studio Calico's January kits. I cut 1 inch strips of paper and adhered them to a piece of tracing paper (because of it's thinness) so that I could cut each strip at one time instead of cutting individually.Using coordinating colors of chalk ink, I stamped the airmail border onto each strip. Lastly, I rounded the corners on everything and then adhered the overlay piece and used it as a guide for the stamp and then adhered the paper strips. It still looked like it was missing something so I added a few stitched lines through the strips and called it a day! Thanks again for looking!

This is fantastic! So colorful and bold, but with such great details like the stamping and stitching on the strips and the tilted sentiment. Very eye-catching.
