Purple, green and blue thank you card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've had some papers forever and not known quite how to create with them. Lately I've been creating strips of the papers and adhering them to a scrap piece of paper then faux stitching on the joins. I love how these turn out. Let me know if anyone wants me to take photos of the process I do as it's really simple but I think it looks really effective, hopefully you think so too. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz - anything goes with option of pretty

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -  anything goes with patterned paper

Creative Inspirations - anything goes 

Cute Card Thursday -  anything goes

Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - Make your own background - I cut all the strips, glued them down and faux stitched each one. 

Simon Says Stamp (Wed) - Stars and/or Stripes (stripes) 

Word Art Wednesday - anything goes 

Have a lovely weekend,

XOX Lucy
