Playing with Patterned Paper.

Today I want to share a couple more cards I made with the Farm House Fair Skies papers from Scottie Crafts.

First up

 I used both sides of Weightless PP.  The flags were cut from the front and glued to the panel made from the reverse side of the PP.  I took some bakers twine and glued it along the top of the flags.  I made some little knots and glued them down.  I edged the panel with distress ink and added some eyelets in the corners.  I used a Hero Arts sentiment set (It's Your Day) to stamp my sentiments.  The panel was then added to a royal blue card base.

My second card

For this one I used Drifter and Celestial papers to cut the banners.   I used Spellbinders Eyelet Dies to cut a circle which I cut in half and layered on top of the banners.  Tied some brown scrappers twine around the top of the card and threaded it through the button.  I made this by glueing some of Drifter PP onto the back of a clear button.  Once it dried, I trimmed around it and filed it to get smooth.   I finished it off with gems around the eyelet circle and on the base card. The sentiment is from Hero Arts and is stamped in Delicata Golden Glitz ink.

I have to say I've had great fun using these Patterned Papers.  A few more cards to share that I've made.  These papers are 12x12 sheets but they also come in a 6x6 pad where the elements are all a bit smaller.

Thanks to Scottie Crafts for providing me these papers to work with

Hope this gives you some inspiration.  And do hop over and see the goodies at Scotties.

Gorjuss Girl shaped card.

I was very excited to be asked by Adrienne from Scottie Crafts to make some cards for her store.  She provided me some stunning papers from Farm House Fair Skies  to use.  I've made a number of cards which I will share over the next few weeks.

First up is a shaped card I made with the fabulous die Scotties gave me... Timeless Rectangles by Spellbinders.

I started by cutting the largest rectangle from white card stock. I masked all around the edges and sponged on some Victorian Velvet distress ink.  Using the same ink I added the brick wall ~ a background stamp from Obsession Impression.  To make the card I cut and folded white card the same size as the inside portion of the die.   I then stuck the die cut on the front.    Next I die cut a My Favorite Things flourish and some leaves from Sizzix Dogwood Thinlit die set.  I added a Prima Flower.    My focal image is another one of the Gorjuss Girls from Docrafts  I colour the majority of the image with Copics and used some Kraft Notes PP for her dress.  I have decorated the inside with a smaller rectangle die 

Hope this has given you some inspiration.
