I am loving this challenge! Chevrons? Yes please! Yum.

I was inspired by the colors in the challenge photo as well as those delicious chevron stripes. I grabbed a sentiment from Words of Wisdom and stamped it in black ink on the Tagged Rectangle Die. I added a jumbo white eyelet with some black twine and then popped up the Loopy Blooms Die in the corner. I stamped the grid pattern from Making a Statement in a neutral ink and then stamped the flower in light blue over the top. It's a little tough to see in the photo, but it really compliments the Dreamy Leaves.
