A couple of weeks ago, there was a Papertry tutorial about using patterned paper strips and mixing and matching. I didn't watch the video but the basci idea stuck in my head. So when I recently went to make a card, I decided to give it a whirl.
I started with the butterfly image and sentiment stamped in one of my favorite colors - marina mist from Stampin' Up. (the stamps are from Papertrey)
With the blue guiding me, I pulled out a Basic Grey paper pack and matched some papers that I though went nicely with the blue.
Usually I use one paper design and stick with just the one on a card. I liked mixing and matching and of course, the paper packs make it easy as they all sort of match to begin with. Hopefully I'll get out of my comfort zone more often and try it again!
Have a great day!
What a gorgeous butterfly card! I just love the size of the card too! Can you send me the dimensions?
