Welcome, friends! And welcome to our April FOU Blog Hop!
Are you having Spring or Winter temperatures? We typically do not get much of a winter in this part of Texas (unlike in my Arkansas home state). However, the temps have drastically fluctuated this year! Cold mornings and hot days. Either way I am blessed and have learned to appreciate both!
This months cue is patterned paper. I am in awe of those who use patterned paper for paper piecing.
I am drawn to using black and white pattern paper as a background. Especially lines and polkadots!
My first card is one I created in February and decided to change it up a bit. I love this beautiful woman and sentiment from the February KOM.
I added a black camisole to her bust line for a more modest look. :) The fun polkadot patterned paper makes this card perfect for my teenage nieces birthday.
The succulent stamp from the June 2018 Uniquely Unitt has always been a favorite of mine. I just adore the white on black sentiment stamps from the Sept 2021 Sentiment Kit.
Hug perfectly pairs with this happy script die cut. (I can not recall who this die is from)
Loving these dots, as well!
(I have drawers full of patter paper so I am not certain where either are from.)
I used to use patterned paper quite regularly, but my style changed over the last year or 2 and is typically more Clean and Simple so I wasn't hugely creative here. I did have fun incorporating pattern paper, and am inspired to use it more often.
Let's go way back to cards from 2018 when I did use patterned paper. Wow!! Why did I ever stop!
I hope you are as inspired to use more patterned paper as much as I am! I would love to see your cards using pattern paper!
I would love to know which of my 2 newest cards are your favorite! I love them both as they creatively differ!
My hope is that you read through the entire blog. Makes my heart so happy thinking you do!
As always~
Thanks for spending time with me today!
If I may, I'd love to invite you to follow my blog.
There is a "follow" button up a bit and to the right. --->
Not the follow by email, it's up just a bit from it. Thank you so much!
It brings me so much joy sharing my thoughts and creations with all of you!
Be blessed, friends!
