I'm back for Day 3 of the Pattern Play course
and for day 3 we were asked to use a difficult pattern paper on a project. Well I'd had this paper in my stash for at least 5 years and never found a way of using it, but I was asked to make a large 30th birthday card and thought this might fit the bill. So two challenges to take me out of my comfort zone - large cards are a challenge because there is so much space to fill - and finally using this very girly paper.
I made an 8 inch by 8 inch white card base, and I found a darker toning card but didn't have a paper that would go with it so I took a piece of paler pink card and stamped little hearts all over it to make my own second patterned paper.
I typed the sentiment on the computer and used Papertrey Ink mat stack dies to frame it and inked the edge of the top frame with white ink
and I cut a row of hearts with the PTI heart border die to separate the two patterns
and a bought dress sticker finished it off.
Whew!!!
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs

A very fun card Carol and that paper is perfect--very girlie!
This is such a big and fun card. I think you did a great job with that big canvas, and used that fun paper perfectly. That dress sticker was the perfect finishing touch.
Wow, you did a bang-up job, Carol, with all the patterns and making a big card. It is super cute!! I love that you even made your own patterned paper! Remember when we used to do that back in the day?! Well done!
