Hello everyone!

Today I have a stripy birthday card to share with you! It’s time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday! My lovely team mate Vicki chose the new toppings option and she wants to see stripes in our birthday projects!

I created a beach scene using some watercolored stripes and parked up a camper on the beach.

I watercolored four watercolor paper stripes in different shades of blue and one stripe in brown and gold using Gansai Tambi watercolor. I also cut the elements for the camper from some watercolor paper using Campers die set (51-645) by Penny Black. I watercolored the camper in yellow, orange and red and assembled it together. I adhered a piece of vellum on the back of the camper as windows.

I cut the top edge of the watercolored stripes in wavy lines and layered them using foam tape on a white cardbase to build the beach scene.

I then added the camper to the card. The sentiments are from some stamp sets of Stamping with Scooter collection by Penny Black: Blown Away (30-836), Doggone Great (30-834) and Pawsome Birthday (30-837).
I white heat embossed them on black cardstock and added the sentiment strips to the card as shown. I finished off the card with some clear iridescent sequins.

  1. These stripes are gorgeous!!! Perfect background for the fabulous camper. Love everything about this card.

  2. When I initially had the idea to make something wavy, I was a little skeptical whether it would count as stripes, but I am glad to see your card here using that – and its definitely better than whatever I would have made too!! 😀 Beautiful card, TaeEun!!
