1 Design - 4 Challenges


I wanted to play along with the latest Lawnscaping challenge to use patterned paper and I thought this tree from Critters in the 'Burbs would be perfect to paper piece.  As I started looking at patterned papers I realised that I could use the design for a few other challenges as they each required using a different type of pattern.  


CAS-ual Fridays wants us to use polka dots in our designs this week and I found this green polka dot paper that would be perfect for my tree.
Over at the Moxie Fab World Cath has several challenges on the go including the Gingham Challenge...
...and the Damask and Brocade Challenge.
They would make a cute set I think although maybe with a different sentiment.  I'd feel bad for anyone who missed that many people that they had to buy "Miss You" cards in bulk!  


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Bazzill
Patterned Paper:  Craft supplyStamps:  (Tree and tire from Critters in the 'Burbs) Lawn Fawn, (Sentiment from Simple Salutations) Market Street Stamps
Inks: (VersaFine Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko, (Basic Grey) Stampin' Up


Die:  (Die-Namics Fresh Cut Grass) MFT

  6. These are super sweet! Nice assortment of patterned papers. Yes, if you were giving them as a set, you might have to mix up the sentiment a bit... :D
