GDT AAA BIRTHDAY- Use Pattern Paper






Good morning, following a recent win at AAA Birthday Challenge I was invited to Guest Design for their September Challenge- Use Pattern Paper

Like many card makers I have a huge stash of patterned papers- no matter how much I use it seems to keep growing! Apart from the 'fence' patterned paper all of this was made using left over scraps that have been lurking, unloved, for years. The little House Mouse is part of a Stampendous  stamp set, again had it for several years, only one stamp from it used before, so time it got used again! The swirly bow die, Memory Box,  is an old favourite, there was a time when it appeared on nearly every card I made, still love it. I cut this and the frame around the image several times and stacked them together for strength and  dimension- the bow was very tricky!!!

Please do check out the AAA Challenge Blog for some fabulous inspiration from the DT.

Thanks for visiting

Great card, Chris. I’m also guilty of having lots of patterned paper, enough to last several lifetimes. 🤣
