Challenge me a Christmas Card with Therese Calvird

Welcome to "Challenge me a Christmas Card" for 2019! I have asked cardmaking friends to join me in the lead up to Christmas by challenging me to make a card using a specific style, theme, technique or product.

My guest for today is Therese Calvird of  Lost in Paper. Therese has challenged me to make a card with the theme "sentiments".

You can check out her take on the challenge HERE. 

Here's what I came up with:

I was inspired by some cards by Laura Bassen to make a background using stripes of colour. The colour scheme was inspired by another card challenge I have been set that you will see next week! I stamped and white embossed a sentiment from Stampin' Up over the stripy panel. I cut the panel using a stitched rectangles die from Lil' Inkers, and then cut it on an angle through the middle. I cut multiple white pieces using the Joy die from Birch Press, a shadow from vellum and a top layer of glitter cardstock. The "to the world" stamped sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.

I had some of the stripy panel left over, so I made another card!
