I don't know about those of you who have these papers, but I'm having some problems in getting inspired to know what to do with these gorgeous papers! I thought it would be easy, but it's not. Anyway, having had them for a week, finally something is getting done with them.
I used the bird stamp from Artistic Outpost, a leaf stamp from Hero Arts and a crown stamp from.... Sue.
This second card uses paper from the Mariposa stack but I felt it needed some distressing, so it's not it's natural color. The butterfly is a digi Hero Arts stamp and the background stamping is a collage stamp, also from Hero Arts.
I might persuade my visitor's to join in the tag Tuesday challenge tomorrow, we'll see.
Wow, the purple shade on your first card is so lovely!! And your collage card is so beautiful with its vibrant mix of colors!! Have a great time with your sister and her friend, happy crafting to you all!
ReplyDeleteYou've done a fantastic job with the papers, Jacqueline. I just got a pack yesterday; hope to have some time to play with the papers soon. They are truly gorgeous, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteI had to have these papers after seeing them on Louise's blog,got my sister send them from USA but now I don't know what to do with them! they are so pretty it seems a shame to cut them up or cover the patterns,love what you have done. Joan
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous cards, Jacqueline!! I have that paper pack, too, and my subconscious won't let me cut into them... the hoarding habit dies hard! I'm just going to have to dig in - thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful papers made gorgeous cards, Jacqueline. Hope to see a bunch of tags on your site tomorrow as you and your friends do art together.
ReplyDeleteI love your art work and your blog. I have added you to my list!I will visit often.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know that sometimes you struggle for inspiration....you were very successful with these papers in the end. These cards are so pretty, still your style but with a fresh perspective.
ReplyDeleteI think both cards are just beautiful, Once again I just love your work! I can't wait to see what you come up with for Tag Tuesday! I'm sure it will be fab!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the cutsie thing is throwing you a bit.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, your cards are gorgeous, particularly the second one.
(I think the problem you might be having with these papers is that you usually create these types of background yourself. And there's really not much more you can add to them.)
Beautiful cards, love the colors on your butterfly!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous cards as always, Jacqueline! I think you did an awesome job with the paper, very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I really love the blue one - the colouring on the butterfly is awesome.
