Hello!
I have a design team contribution for you today for the Creative Knockouts blog. Our challenge is to use two or more patterned papers and the blog is sponsored by Conie Fong who gave me this lovely image to work with.
The pointsettia and the holly and the baubles are so beautiful and I decided first off to watercolour them using distress inks.
Then I chose patterned paper from the stash to sit behind the image once I had fussy cut it.
I layered up the patterns and added in a strip of white on either side of the green to break it up.
Then I added ribbon behind the goal image and added foam to give dimension.
Next I took the same green paper and die cut it with the word Joy and layered that up a few times including the shadow die so even more dimension. I probably should have kept this flatter because it’s now quite a bulky card but hey ho … I think it is still cute!
Happy crafting!
