Hello Dear Friends
It's a new month and that means it's time for a new challenge over on our
LOVE THOSE PRETTY PAPERS blog.
Today, our OPTIONAL theme is
Forest Critters.
Diane & I
will be sharing a Themed pretty paper card as well as an Anything
Goes card.
Here's my card using today's THEME:
While making tissue box covers for a recent craft show, I decided to
use the scraps and create some background panels. Then I remembered I had some fun Penny Black Winter paper images so did a double matting on this beautiful cardinal and VIOLA my card is ready for easy mailing this holiday season.
Now for my 2nd card (anything goes) ...
I've use paper from the Ella & Viv Paper Company 'Blue Christmas Kit' for today's card. This is 12x12 so I cut an A-6 size panel and put over my entire white card base. Then used one of the sentiment stickers from the kit for the sentiment.
I hope you've enjoyed what I created to inspire you today! Please come join our fun and show us what you have created using pretty patterned papers.
Thanks for stopping by and as always . . .
Darlene, love love LOVE that incredible "paper-pieced" background featuring the cardinal! So much drama and artsiness with the vivid colors and "black" interjections.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm always enchanted by your paper collection! Both cards are gorgeous and, gosh, those paper strips make the most amazing backgrounds! It takes a good eye to put the right pieces together in just the right places!
ReplyDeletePretty papers for sure, I do love that cardinal
