Using this week's Splitcoast Sketch, I layered 1" wide strips of Riding Hood Red and Summer Sun Textured card stock along with a snappy polka dot from Stampin' Up!'s Rockabilly Designer Series Specialty Paper on Very Vanilla. TIP: Don't worry about the length of the strips. Just adhere all five strips and trim the entire top and bottom at once. You get a perfect edge that way.
The Kraft card stock base is 4.25 x 5.5 and scored at the top. TIP: All Daily Splitcoast Challenges are listed and linked on my left side bar for your convenience.

This is gorgeous! Love the rock-n-roll technique on this set. I love your take on the colour challenge – I forgot about Kraft when I made mine!
I had noted the SCS color challenge and wondered if you would take it. I’m glad you did, because the result is beautiful. I have this set and colors, so I’m going to try this. I hope I can get my inks to roll out as well as you did. How do you like working with the Kraft paper?
Hi Nancy:
I love working with Kraft paper. It’s the “other” neutral 🙂
When I saw the SCS colors, I could only picture a kitchen towel . . . funny how our minds work. After looking at my stamps, I was able to use a little more imagination.
Thank you for your kind feedback on the card.
Hugs, Mary
That is fantastic!! I couldn’t imagine that color combo but you did a beautiful job.
Mary, this is gorgeous! I love your color choices!!

Lovely! What a great time to visit old friends (rock-n-roll and the 2 stamp sets)! Amazing how color and technique change the whole feel of these stamps!
I had been wondering what to do with this set and now I know! Thanks Mary – another fabulous creation!
Love, love, love this card! The colors are stunning. You are amazing. Your tips are always right on the money. Thanks.
What a happy card to wake up to! This goes in the top 10 pile. Have a great week-end Mary.
i ditto the comment on RHR. i have LOVED this red to pieces!!! even more than i loved cranberry crisp. yikes! and … adhering my strips and THEN cutting to get perfectly matched edges and SKIP the whole painstaking process of measuring each one individually … WHY would i want to do THAT??? aaaaaaaaargh. sometimes the simplest solutions … i love and adore your wonderful tips (not to mention other things about your designs!).
friday hugs and blessings, jo ann.
