Background Basics: Random Stripes + Zig Clean Color Markers

I've been learning a few lessons about creative energy and the need to deal with it. Sometimes, I find myself just NEEDING to get an idea out onto paper. Not fighting it, just going with the flow. Got to do what you've got to do. Probably a pretty good stress reliever/coping mechanism. I need a few of those.

Background Basic Random Stripe &  Zig Clean Color Markers

Here, we've got a strip of Background Basics: Random Stripes colored in rainbow hues with my Zig Clean Color Markers. A black butterfly from Life Is Beautiful Dies and a sentiment from Scripted finish off this simple card. Lots of beautiful white space.

Ah....I feel better:). Until the urge to create strikes again. These little fixes never last very long.

    Just catching up on my Bloglovin emails and came across this card. It is absolutely stunning! Love the colored edge, it just makes that black butterfly pop. Thanks for sharing.
