Easily Customizable

Choose a Stampin’ Blends marker that coordinates with the colors of your card to create a matching background.

You can create thick stripes, two-tone stripes or a combination of thick & thin!  You could even make them diagonal!  Have fun with this and don’t stress about them being straight.
