Hello and Happy Wednesday! Today starts a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. The challenges are Always Anything Papercrafting Goes with Optional Twists. The Twist this month is Polkadots and/or Stripes. Our sponsors this challenge are the amazing Honey Bee Stamps and Concord & 9th! We appreciate their generosity and support.
For my team project, I've used the Grateful Blooms Stamp and Coordinating Die Set from Concord & 9th, along with patterned papers from Recollections to create a card of gratitude.
I stamped the images and sentiment using inks from Catherine Pooler, and die cut all using the coordinating dies. I've adhered a panel of patterned paper at an angle to a plain mat that's a coordinating color. Before adhering to the card base, I've embossed with a Geometric Ring embossing folder that reminds me of a Quilt.
The focal die cut and sentiments have been popped on foam pads, and lastly, I've added purple Dazzles for extra interest and sparkle. We hope you'll join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenge, and if you do, best of luck in the draw.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

I love what you've done with the embossing, it makes a lovely background, with the two different papers. Love your circular abstract flowers. A lovely sentiment too. Such a beautiful card. x
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty card, Donna! I really love that image with the flowers, and your background is really nice too. I like that layout. I also like how you embossed two different papers. That’s a technique. I’ve been meaning to try. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
