This week's Make it Monday #65 is a really great tutorial by Dawn about combining and mixing patterned papers. As I love to buy and collect patterned paper, I especially appreciated this lesson on how to use it all.
I have a box with all my PTI patterned paper scraps, that I plan to organize one day. For this card, I just pulled out papers and started arranging them until I felt I had a mix that looked right and adhered to some of the principles Dawn mentioned about scale and busyness. I also wanted to use my new Framed Out set. I ended up with a card that I think will work well as either a Father's Day card or a masculine birthday card, depending on what I stamp on the inside.
It was really fun working with all these patterns. If time allows, I will try this technique again, next time aiming for a different look.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Framed Out #3
Paper: Rustic White, Chocolate Remis, Fall prints, Distressed Dots, Argyle Socks, Pacific Vineyard
Other: Framed out die
Thanks for Visiting
