The theme this week at Pile It On is "Stripes and/or Plaid," and since I don't really have any plaid paper I concentrated on stripes!
I used Alligator Swim by our sponsor, 2 Cute Ink:
I came up with the sentiment myself; not sure I should be proud of that, ha! I made the banner in InDesign, using the font Atlas. The banner, alligator, and starfish are printed/stamped on "Sea Otter" textured DP from Core'Dinations.
The starfish is from a Recollections set, and stamped with Staz-On and inked with blue & purple inks (Ranger & Versamark). I backed the banner with my favorite ribbon, Celery Striped/Chevron Twill from MayArts (purchased at Can You Digi It?).
The alligator piece was embossed with a Fiskars Texture Plate in my BigShot, inked with Wild Wasabi (SU!), and detailed with a Copic and a white glaze pen (Sakura). He's attached with an Action Wobble, as if he could get any cuter.
The "sea" was made with a digital patterned paper from Papercraft Inspirations magazine (I love how they offer their free papers as digital downloads as well). The striped background is from a 6x6 Echo Park pack.
I added Mircobeads to the corners with Glossy Accents. All the shiny blue detail was done with a Sakura glaze pen.
I know that someday I'll find the perfect occasion for this card; for now, it just makes me smile!
