Hello again. Cardz 4 Galz has started a new challenge. Debbie has chosen the theme of ‘patterned papers‘. Here is my card:

I don’t use many patterned papers, though I do have plenty of them….and for this card I used a collection from Polkadoodles.

I decided to use a 5×7 inch card base to accommodate the large sentiment with some additional flowers.

My first task was to take a 5×7 inch panel, and adhere some double sided sticky sheet. I then cut some strips of the patterned papers and arranged them in a jaunty angle.

Once they were all stuck down, I used a Spellbinders embossing folder and ran the patterned paper panel through that – even more texture and interest on the papers.

This panel was then glued down to the card base.

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn, die cut with patterned paper, layered with a couple more white card layers and glued to the front.

I also used some Spellbinders dies and cut out the flowers and foliage, adding as you see, and also added some pink pearl gems around and about, as well as some glittery gems for the centre of the flowers.

I hope you can come and join us with your creations following our theme of ‘patterned papers’. xx
