Today it is a difficult theme for me at Christmas card Club - its 2 or more patterned papers. Its difficult because I don't use patterned paper much at all these days - I guess I could have made my own - but I thought I would dust off some from many years ago. I teamed them (from LOTV) with a stamp from Tim.
I look forward to seeing what the other ladies from our lovely club have come up with.
I got a lovely parcel arrive on Friday ... from oakhousestudio. The lovely Lynnda turned the order around remarkably quickly - thanks Lynnda - I'm looking forward to having a play with these goodies on Monday!
I'm particularly looking forward to playing with the pure colour chemistry inks - I'll let you see what I get up to - but you may have to wait until April!!!!
Have a great Sunday!

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about pattered papers Rachel, I do use them sometimes but always struggle with coordinating them. But I think you have done a great job here with the contrasting earthy tones.

Very unusual and oh, so pretty. Love the combination of the sepia tones with the fab TH images. Also love the patterns of the different papers combined so nicely. That is something I don't do so well. Looks wonderful on your cards. So happy that you & the girls are keeping so active. Just enjoy your time with them, and blogging can be when you don't have these fun times in your week. TFS & Hugs (oh the new supplies look just yummy. Some products I don't know about!)
ReplyDeleteYou sure did hit this challenge head on -- I am not a busy person so it is hard for me to use a lot of patterns. You really have to know how to do it and you sure do.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new goodies!!

I will look forward to hearing how you go with these Rachel, as I have one set of Lynda's clear stamps and have been tempted by the other goodies but not sure what I would do with them or if they will do the same as some as I already have. I have, sadly, had issues with the clear stamp set which has made me a bit wary Karen xx
