First let me wish you a happy new year! I can’t believe it is 2018… It sounds so futuristic! Hope you had a safe passage into the new year and wishing you a happy, healthy and creative new year!
Now my first post of the year is a design team contribution for Craftyhazelnuts patterned paper challenge. I chose to make a batch of cards using the pack from Making Cards magazine. Now I know it was Augusts magazine but I’ve just had it sitting there waiting for me to use it so I decided now is the time!
I made six cards in total, layering the papers and images with cardstock from the off cuts pile and added simple sentiments from my Emma Godfrey Paperartsy set. I use these so often as I love the font.
And this is my favourite (it reminds me of my princess!) …
On all of them I chose to add wink of Stella to the flower embellishments and the butterflies/ flowers on the main images. It’s difficult to see on the photos but here are some close ups.
Love how these turned out. Really pretty and tropical Zen cards!
Now please do pop over to the Craftyhazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge Blog to see what everyone else has been making with their stash of patterned paper and why not join in with us?
Happy crafting!
