Recently I came across two cards, one by Julie Ebersole, and then one based on her card by Laura Bassen (two wonderful designers). I loved the look and since I had just gotten a new set of Winnie and Walter stamps ("The Big, The Bold, and You) I thought I'd give color fading a try.
After embossing the sentiment in white, I masked the stripes and added Distress Inks fading out to the side.
As always, I learned a bit in the process so the next attempt should be a bit better, but overall I'm happy with another bright and springy card to add to Simon Says "Work it Wednesday" challenge.
