Who Needs Patterned Paper?

Published by inkypaws at 10:42 pm under Lizzie Anne Designs

As much as I love beautiful patterned paper, I end up creating more backgrounds with stamps than using it.

This is one of those backgrounds that just evolved as it was made. I stamped the paisley in Purely Pomegranate on Pretty in Pink CS. It just didn’t have enough pop so I went back and watercolored parts of the paisley with Purely Pomegranate ink and an Aquapainter and added some sponging on the edge. The last step on the background (because sometimes I just can’t stop myself) was to add some white dots with a Signo gel pen.

Stamps: Jolies Fleurs, Simply Sentiments - Lizzie Anne Designs

Paper: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive

Ink: Purely Pomegranate, Old Olive

Accessories: Aquapainter, Signo gel pen, Sponge, 1 3/8″ Circle, Mega Circle and Giga Scallop Circle punches, ribbon from May Arts

    This is beautiful, if I could do that with paper I would not need pattern paper.

    So true! I mean, do “need” and patterned paper necessarily go in the same sentence? I mean, unless it’s I NEED TO USE THIS PATTERNED PAPER! :) I do love that card. I am a PINK FREAK!

    There are so many things about this card that are amazing! I love the colors, the 3d aspect of the flowers and the use of green. TFS!

    You know, I forgot how much I love my BG stamps - but this is just a DD kind of thing! Amazingly creative. Love the colors, love how the flowers pop out “just so”. Thank you for sharing yet another one of your gems.
