Making stripey paper on th PC.

I love spotty and striped papers, but I always have difficulty finding it in the colour I need when I need it. So I decided to make some myself using my PC.

  .

 I was surprised how easy it was to achieve. 

 I used Microsoft publisher to create the paper here.  I went into shapes, chose the rectangle shape and stretched the rectangle from the top to the bottom of the page, keeping the width of the rectangle to about 1/4 inch.

   I then copied the  stripe and pasted it 1/4 inch away from the first stripe. I did this a couple more times, then copied all 4 stripes and pasted them again and again until I had covered the page. Then I started playing with colours and adding a line around the rectangle and changing the colour of the line. (see the floral and footballer card)  You will notice a fine black line either side of the blue.

 I outlined the rectangle  in black to give a different look. I haven't  yet  tried creating multicoloured stripy paper ….That's on my to do list.
