Patterned paper challenge

As it’s the first of the month I am back with patterned paper as the focus and I went back to the Crafters Companion paper and the panels that were already cut up for a sheetload of cards challenge I never finished! I totally ignored the instructions and put several bits together for these two cards that were similar but of course different!

Both had a larger panel of the paper and then two smaller pieces and both I chose the pink for the base cardstock!

This one I did first. I chose a wreath die cut from Spellbinders and then added the fussy cut flowers and some little gem flower embellishments to add. I also added the crumb cake pierced bloom leaves to add in a little contrast.

I grabbed ready die cut and stamped sentiments and some white thread to make a bow. I wanted a banner for underneath the sentiment so I grabbed this ready die cut one and coloured it pink to match.

The second card I chose to use the die cut leaf from the Artistic dies to ground the floral elements.

Again I added the fussy cut flowers and then the little flower embellishments I found in the stash. I chose a grey banner for under the sentiment and a little nest of the thread.

That spray of leaves is so pretty and I really like the little flower embellishments to add something a little different.

Have still got a few panels of the patterned paper in a pouch ready to use so maybe will try and get those finished and out of the basket of projects to do in the next few days! Obviously still got lots of the patterned paper left too so still many more projects to make using this shabby floral paper!

Happy crafting!
