AAA Birthday challenge Game #23 Patterned paper
Hello Everyone! Spring is finally here and today we're starting the March challenge over at AAA Birthday blog and our theme this month is patterned paper.
I'm sure you know I don't typically use a lot of patterned paper, so this was honestly a challenge for me. I know, I know, I could have chosen the easy path and slapped a piece of paper on a card and add a critter. That would no doubt be adorable,but I wanted to do something different. I found my inspiration with Laura Bassen. She is awesome with geometric cards!
Since I'm sooo over winter I wanted warm vibes on this card. I found a paper pad (bought locally) and decided on 5 different prints and cut squares (around 1x1 inch) with my paper trimmer. I popped them up with craft foam for dimension.
For extra summer vibes I stamped a pineapple using Honey Bee stamps Fineapple in colors matching the paper. I used Altenew and Hero Arts inks. I popped it up and added a bit of shimmer with my very dry Wink of stella.
The stamped part of the sentiment is from Simon says stamp Tiny words using 2 Altenew inks. The word cut is from My favorite things Sweet as pie die-namics. I layered 3 pieces and added Nuvo Jewel drops Limoncello to the whole thing for a soft yellow glossy finish.
Thanks for stopping by! And don't forget to visit the AAA Birthday blog to check out the other team members inspiration and join the challenge! I can't wait to see what you create!
Stay safe, and happy crafting!
