I've been following the Papertrey Paper Dolls blog for while now, but this is my first time participating in one of their challenges. Challenge #43 was to use newspaper style "paper" (but not text) on a project.
Well, I'd seen this challenge the other day but didn't think about it too much, because I didn't think that I had anything like that in my stash.
Well, I was wrong. (Shocking, I know!) I was digging through my scraps and here was a piece of green patterned Echo Park patterned paper that had newsprint on the back AND the red polka dots.
So, here's the card I made using one single piece of patterned paper:
I also used Papertrey Ink cardstock (stamper's select white), stamps (from my new Iconic Images set) and die (Mat stack #5.)
Thanks for looking!
Great card. I like how you cut out the bird on the branch.
ReplyDeleteFun card! Very different elements, but work together so pleasingly (if that's a word?) ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice card, I like the sentiment!!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! This was such a challenge for me (I stared at the cardstock for weeks!!) and apparently lots of the girls too :)... but this is so great!!! Thank you for playing along!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Leigh!! (my 8 y/o...the crafty one...just about jumped out of the bed when she saw your card - "that card is so pretty!!!") I'm sure she'll be CASEing it.
ReplyDeleteLeigh this card is perfect for Kristin's challenge! How great that you had this on hand. I love the pop of color in the paper. So glad you joined us Paper Dolls!
