Striped Borders Blog Hop

 Hello and welcome to the Close to My Heart Technique blog hop. Tonight consultants from all over will be showcasing project they created using Striped borders. Tonight we take borders, zip strips, scraps, stamps, all to make a striped border in our projects.  If you are joining me from Melissa Robinson you are in the right spot! If you are starting at my blog, welcome! If you get lost along the way and you need to start over, click here to go back to the beginning and for a full list of the hop participants.

For my project I created a Birthday card using our Mix in papers. I was not 100% sure what I was going to do or make but just started playing with the paper pack and letting it go where it took me. I did know I wanted to include some stamping on it and I found this cute little present and some hearts on the Winter Penguins set and thought that would make a great birthday present. So I did some random stamping, I had some space so I added the little pine needles in to bring some green in as I had enough hearts already. I coloured it using my water blending pen and ink from the ink pads. I really love how it turned out. I finished it off with some Gold Glitter Gems. For a full list of products used, see below.
