Love Those Pretty Papers August 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

LOOK TO THE SKY
(Galaxy, Lightening, Sunshine, Stars, Clouds, etc.)

 
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:

 

At convention (Adventures in Stamping) last year, I purchased several different paper packs offered by the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps company.  They are A2 in size and each pack has 5 cards each of 5 different designs.  I thought their Stormy Sky Set was intriguing so this is one of the background papers from that particular set.  

 

 I went to Pinterest and found a quote with the word Lightening in it then copy/pasted it to a Word document and printed it directly onto my background panel.

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

 Once again I've used a panel from this same Blue Knight paper pack.  
I wanted to use an imagine that was fun and encouraging ... hence this adorable Tim Holtz 'Crazy Dog'.  I've colored him with Tombow markers and popped him up.  I used Tombow markers that coordinated with the paper and embellished the outer edges of my card.  And, I computer generated the sentiment in a Word document and then printed it onto the designer panel.

 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 . . .
