This card was a real challenge for me! If you visit my blog regularly, you'll know I don't use patterned paper very often. This card not only has patterned paper, but four different patterns to boot! I cut the papers from a pack of paper I bought at the local department store.
The flowers were stamped using Fog, Smoke and Memento Tuxedo Black inks before being cut out by hand. The scalloped edge comes from Blueprints 14 and the sentiment is from some NBUS I received yesterday from Papertrey Ink. The ends of the banners have been curled up slightly for some added interest.
I love this sketch and I'm pretty sure I'll be using it again sometime. And, wouldn't you know it, I've only now just realised that the banners are meant to go above the scalloped panel. Doh! Sorry, Cardabilities team!
Thanks for visiting.

Wow! This is beautiful and so stunning. I understand about using patterned paper as once you get use to working with cardstock, it can be challenging for patterned but you pulled it off beautifully. Love it!
While I was making my card for the DT, I realised how easily neutrals can be boring. You really managed to create interest with the different patterns you chose and adding dimension!
Fabulous card Karren!
Wow, Karren. For someone who doesn't use patterned paper you've pulled this off beautifully. I absolutely love this neutral card - those flowers look awesome inked in the greys. x
