Less is More challenge....

Mandi and Chrissie over at Less is More have really made us think about this weeks challenge which is ONE LAYER and STRIPES......
Found this little stamp hidden away and thought it would cover this challenge.  I made a rectangle template and using my duster brushes made a striped background before stamping  my image which is by Stamps Happen and is called 'Bees'.  The sentiment was done on my computer.
