I am in awe of those crafters who are able to put patterned papers together with such ease because it's always a struggle for me even when using coordinating sets. I recently won two new Teresa Collins collections though and I didn't want to condemn them to the dusty shelf where my patterned papers go to die! I figured this sketch from The Paper Players was a good place to start trying to use them. It has a pretty straightforward layout and I managed to use 3 different PPs, a flower die cut and a brad! Whoop whoop! It also has about 5 layers so I'm also going to enter it at the Young Crafters Unite challenge to use many layers. Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill, (Early Espresso) Stampin' Up
Patterned Papers: (Fabrications: Canvas collection) Teresa Collins
Stamp: (Sentiment from Simple Salutation) Market Street Stamps
Ink: (Early Espresso) Stampin' Up
Diecut & Brad: (Fabrications: Canvas collection) Teresa Collins
This is really lovely Jen, that flower is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! I don't combine patterns very often either, but this looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteI struggle to use patterned papers, too. You did a really nice job with this one. Your flower is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteawesome effort on the patterned paper front ... still love that there's a bit of white in there though :)
ReplyDeleteI know you say that you struggle with them, but whenever you use pp you rock it, girlie :) I guess the trick is all in the subtlety of the pattern? Love that fun brad in the centre of the flower. I hope all your Y chromosomes are healing up as they should be?
ReplyDeleteThis isn't your usual style at all Jen but you've done a great job with this layered card! Vicky x
