Oh, happy day when I get on the PTI website and discover a Make It Monday on a Wednesday!! I loved Lizzie's tutorial and I agree with most of you that I will not look at patterned paper the same way again! I made two cards altering the patterned paper differently on each. My first card mostly follows Lizzie's design by adding dots to the open circles of the Vintage Jadeite and White linen paper. You can see her card in the link above. I am working on some St. Patrick's Day treats for my sister, so I thought I would add a card to the mix.

I wasn't very happy with the card above, so I made a second one following a design I have always loved from Danielle Flanders. I love her work. It's so uninhibited and whimsical! You can see her card here;) I came up with this by combining two of her designs from Betsy Veldman's Make It Market Kit from June 2014;) I added the tone on tone stamping to the patterned paper.

Gotta run back to my craft room with some coffee... get creative, my friends! Enjoy the rest of your week, Jeni Jenne
Your cards are so different from each other. The second one is so very lovely in tone and design. Somehow I've never noticed Beautiful Brushworks before.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards.

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful, but I love the flower arrangement and the subtle message in the second card! Lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI do like the simplicity of your 1st card Jeni, but oh my, your second card is just gorgeous! And I can definitely see Danielle's influence on that card too! I have that set also, but hardly ever use it and don't know why...your card has inspired me though and I need to get it out!! :0)
