Love Those Pretty Papers July 2026 Challenge

 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

COASTAL

 
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:

 

 Turning to my Mintay 'Seaside Escape' 6x6 paper pad made this card very quick & easy!  Mintay has so many scenic paper pads that you really don't need to add much more.  I did however use one of the cute little images that's offered in this pack just to add another layer of dimension & interest.  This card would be the perfect birthday card for a man or woman!

 

 Now for my 2nd card (anything goes) ... 

 The background purple panel is from an A4 paper pack by The Paper Boutique called 'Lavender Fields' and the pretty designer paper with I've cut at different angles and layered is from the Prima pack called 'Aquarelle Dreams'.   Little purple Prima flowers with Lavendar Nuvo drop centers finished off my creation.

   

I've had this designer paper in my stash for quite some time and only today used it!  So pretty!  With purple being my favorite color, I have several paper pads of different purple patterns ... can't believe I've been overlooking this one!!  My Bad!!  LOL

 Here's a close up of the sentiment which also came from that Aquarelle Dreams pack.

 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 . . .
