I happened upon a new challenge just starting this month, and loved the premise: to use those patterned papers we've all been hoarding! I am guilty as charged, so I couldn't wait to have a play.
supplies: cream, pink, and black cardstock, Webster's Pages rose paper, pink and green patterns from my collection, Simon Says Stamp sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies and Stitching Butterfly die, Altenew Creative Edges Lace die, Spellbinders label die
Awhile back, I gathered my many 6" square paper pads of printed papers and went through them, picking out the prettiest papers, then sorted them by florals, ginghams, stripes, etc. The florals is where I found the gorgeous Webster's Paper rose print and the tone-on-tone pink one, and then went looking for a green print that would work with them.
We're supposed to make the papers the star of the show for this challenge, so I just chose a small sentiment and a butterfly to complete my design.
It feels good to use this lovely paper! I hope you'll join this challenge, too - it's called Love Those Pretty Papers.
What a gorgeous card! I might have to check out that challenge since I also have sooooo much patterned paper that needs using up.

I have a ton of patterned papers... can't resist getting them... but have to really make an effort to use them! Just love your beautiful card and think I'll need to follow the challenge blog and use up some of my papers.
ReplyDeleteOh Lin this is just GORGEOUS! I'm so glad you stumbled upon us and hope you'll check out our other challenge blogs (linked below). Your design on this creation is just perfect with our beautiful papers! You'll see one of our other challenge blogs is called Triple B where it's all about birds, butterflies & blooms (which of course you have two of the three on this beauty ... please come check it out and play along.)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in the fun at our new Love Those Pretty Papers challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
