A Little Geometric Funk

I just got out of my craft room and I am feeling:

That, my friends, is not any normal happy! That is a
 multi-colored raised up happy surrounded by sparkles! 
And that's exactly what kind of mood I'm in.

 I'm finally winding down from a month-long whirlwind of busy-ness. Wonderful busy-ness, but I have barely had time to play in any extra-curricular challenges.

 So getting back into my craft room today, I couldn't wait to bust a few moves. While trolling for challenges, I came across this graphic, bright inspiration board from the Winnie & Walter Gossip Column challenge. 
]

Ummmm... psychedelic much? It reminds me of all prints back in the 90s with oversized sweaters when I thought I was so cool with my side ponytail and fashion-loving barbie dolls. 

I have the Winnie & Walter Scenery: Stripes set and used it to create a wickedly graphic and angled background using Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean, and Mustard Seed along with some straight up black. 


I layered a wide stripe and then added accents from the four stripes stamp. That one sort of reminds me of the picks people used to put in their hair, too!

 I created the top panel with the Winnie & Walter Essentials Cutaways: Katherine dies and used the In a Word: Happy die and stamped it with the stripes again in multiple colors. The birthday stamp is from STAMPlorations Blossom Overture.

 This card is not my usual style, but I think it's totally rad and I had a ton of fun experimenting! So thanks for the challenge W&W!

 I'm also going to link this up to:

 Thanks for popping on by!

    Oh, Becca - you are amazing and your cards are utterly cool and beautiful - Your Mother's Day card was stunning!!! I am sorry for the lack of my commenting lately - I have been struggling and doing some soul searching about life, my faith and my place in this world so I have not been on the computer much!! I have looked through your awesome posts with all your amazing creations today and rather than go backwards and comment on all of them I am going to start fresh!! Thank you for being a super source of inspiration and sweetness - love your featured Friday posts - so incredible and fun!!!! Have a lovely day and KEEP happy!!

    This is innovative with a capital I! I love the pattern you created with the various lines the pop of colour from the solid lines is perfect for the inspiration and creates such great movement! Thanks for spreading The Gossip on w&w's The Gossip Column!
