Hello once again. I am stepping out of my comfort zone to play with some patterned papers from 49 & Market. I have had these – along with many more – in my stash for absolutely ages, and I was in the mood to play yesterday. I created 3 cards:

I think that these collections from 49 & Market are best suited to folios, but I have never tried one – maybe that is another comfort zone exit for the future…….

I created 6 x 6 inch card bases in the colours I thought would match the images, and matted a slightly smaller layer onto them.

I cut apart the images and strips from the collection, played around with mats and layers until I was happy, then either glued or used 3D foam to put everything together.

There are lots of images and papers left over, and I may explore different card styles and folds over the next few days, maybe even some folio pages – I found a folio in my stash when tidying up a little – who knew I had one of those……?

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends – anything goes

Crafty Animals – anything goes with an animal

Craft Rocket – layer it up

Crafts Galore – anything goes

Love Those Pretty Patterned Papers – patterned papers – option of spring flowers
