Pattern Play #4

The fourth session of Pattern Play focused on altering patterns to create a new look.  As will all the sessions so far there were lots of tips that I look forward to exploring further!  In this design I employed Shari Carroll's technique for giving patterned paper a new look by creasing, distressing and sanding it in a pattern, in this case creating a haphazard grid.  I've also added some bold flowers from the Secret Garden stamp set.

A strip of what the paper looked like prior to altering features on the inside of the card:

All products Stampin' Up!

A Reason To Smile - June's Class by Correspondence

In this June's class, participants will create three floral designs with two cards showcasing images from the exclusive June promotional set 'Reason to Smile'.  For more information about this offer please see my previous post featuring the below card here. 

It seemed appropriate with the cold weather setting in use a soft colour scheme with lots of neutrals accented with  a range of subtle blue tones.  The design below is my second creations using the Reason to Smile flowers.  

The strip of blue patterned paper featured here is from the Cheerful Treat Designer Series Paper Pack from the hostess section of the current Stampin' Up! Catalogue.

The colours and layout of the third card I created to complete this set was inspired by the talented Pam Cetinich.  I wanted to feature some of the gorgeous flowers from the Awash with Flowers Set which will be retiring later this year and found this to be a beautiful way to showcase them. 

This set of stamps is perfect for two step stamping.  

All three projects are exclusive to this month's Class by Correspondence. If you have any questions or queries, or would like to order a kit, please don't hesitate to contact me.
