Everyone's got a equal chance here so whether you are a novice or an experienced crafter, all are welcome to play along our challenges :)
Now onto some wonderful inspiration from the Design Team. First up is this gorgeous card from Halak Shah.
Here's how she made this card :
1. Took the wooden plank design pattern paper from the Naturals
collection, distressed it and adhered to cardstock.
2. Fussy-cut flowers, leaves and a butterfly from the Papericious
Ephemera Paper collection sheets, positioned them onto the wooden
plank design paper and adhered.
3. Stamped sentiment using archival black ink.
4. Adhered pale pink and white pearls to project.
5. Lastly, attached two bronze colored brads to the bottom left hand side of the project and added a coat of glossy accents to the butterfly.
And that's how it was done.
Next up, is a layered card made by me. I have used pattern papers from the March 2016 release- Papericious Ephemera Collection. The butterflies are fussy cut from the same paper collection, while the flowers are handmade :)
Hope you're inspired to play along our challenge. We would love to see your entries using Papericious products!
