Paper Elements Meets Pretty Patterns

 

I call myself a paper crafter but it seems that I’ve been using more elements that aren’t paper.  So with this card I wanted to change my style.  Obviously the Ric Rac and bling are not paper but everything else I used is paper.  The background papers are by MTME (My Time Made Easy). The digital paper kit can be found here and its called Romance.

Look even the little bows are made from paper.  I love how cute they turned out.  I use a Photo Imaging Software called Paint Shop Pro by Corel.  I copied the paper prints I wanted to use and printed them out using the size I needed.  The word happy are chip board letters I already had in my supplies.  Birthday was cut using the Cricut die cutter.  Both words were colored using a Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass). Then distressed the words more by edging them with Vintage Photo.  A very simple card but sometimes simple says a lot.

This week’s Challenge Sketch below made making my card very easy.  Give it a try!  I really would love seeing my blogger friends over at MTME for this week’s challenge.  You never know you could be the next winner!

The sketch measures 6 1/2″ wide by 3 1/4″ tall. Feel free to adjust as you desire. Want some more inspiration? Check out what the Design Team’s been up to…
