Wow May came round so fast – I think because I missed so much of April with being ill – so I went for an easy one this month for my patterned paper project!
I went with the black and white papers of which I only had a few left, and teamed it with a scrap of orange flowers leftover from some scrapbooking and that cute little digital stamp of the girl which was already coloured and cut out ready to go. Then I pulled in scraps of oranges and pinks to stamp on and that striped piece that is one of the panels I made a while ago when playing with scraps of cardstock.
And from these bits and pieces I made …
Just so cute and so easy.
Papers added to the red base panel that is slightly smaller than the card blank in the same colour.
Then the striped panel across and the girl image raised up on foam adhesive for some dimension.
The flowers were MFT stamps which I stamped with versamark and clear embossed and then the flower centres stamped on top with versamark and then added the gold embossing powder.
The flowers are then die cut out and arranged behind the girl top left and bottom right.
I added two tiny flower die cuts that were sat on the desk to the left of the girl and added glittery gold enamel dots to the centres of those and then used one of the Dina Wakely press plate sentiments and dies which I foiled using the glimmer – I am loving the glimmer foiling – at the moment mainly for sentiments but plenty of experimenting now going on for some of the other things I have to play with too! Yesterday I got some goodies delivered I bought on the Spellbinders sale – so expect more foiling adventures at some point soon (craft haul on YouTube if you want to see my splurge!)
Inside I added the final scrap of the orange flower paper and a strip of the black and white to a panel of white.
Love how this card finished up – really not bad for a bunch of scraps! and there is some of my Making Cards magazine paper used up. I have enough of the black and white left to do something with it – and that something is currently in the process of being finished – so you will see it soon! How are you doing with your patterned paper? Is it something you still have a mountain of like me?
Happy crafting!
