Good morning, everyone!

I hope you are all ready for a challenge! This week I am challenging myself to use more than just my usual amount of Patterned Papers on my projects. Normally I pick Two patterned papers and two or three cardstock pieces for my projects, but I know that I have seen some wonderful creations using much more patterns out there! So that is why I DARE YOU to use 5 or more Patterned Papers on your project…

My card was created using this week’s Mojo Monday sketch that I thought was perfectly simple enough to allow for many patterned papers. Aren’t these papers just GORGEOUS!? I adore these colors and lately have fallen in love with Yellow! These papers were in the July Kit from Scarlet Lime (and just so happens to be my all time favorite kit!). Another challenge I used with my card was over at  the Kitchen Sink Stamp Challenge: Use only 1 Pop Dot, 2 Embellishments (of your choice), and 3 different stamped images.

I better not forget to give credit to my crimper! I LOVE this easy little guy; I dont use it much but when I do, I love the result. I used it to crimp the yellow cardstock for some added texture… I think it did it’s job! The stamps used are Papertrey Ink called In Bloom and I used my sponge to sponge on some light green into the bloom and then to swipe the edges with a Teal. Love how easy that is!

My inspiration comes from Amy Butler’s fabrics (see photo below)… she creates gorgeous patterns! You can even find her patterns on papers for those of us who scrapbook!!! If you Google Amy Butler’s fabrics you can find some amazing projects, including quilts that are absolutely amazing!

Happy creating!
