My challenge is a.........
I am going to explain how to create a fun and easy background using paper scraps.You can use scraps of cardstock or pattern paper. No scraps, just cut down some of your stash. Your stripes can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal depending on your card design. So have fun, experiment and don't forget to share your creations in the VIP group on Facebook!
I used four different colors of cardstock to create the striped background.
I cut my scraps to the following sizes for my card.
2 blue 4 1/2" x 1 1/2"
1 pink 4 1/2" x 7/8"
1 orange 4 1/2" x 1/2"
1 green 4 1/2" x 1"
I put adhesive on the back of my cardstock stripes. Then starting at the top of my A2 card base, I lined up my first panel along the top edge allowing the ends to hang off the two sides. I continued to place the other pieces on the card front making sure to leave no space between the colors. After all the panels were attached I turned my card over and trimmed the ends hanging off the edge.
*I like having the ends longer so I don't have to stress about my measurements being perfect.*
*If you have white space at the bottom of your card just trim it off.*
I then stamped the white panel using the Folk Art Snowflakes and a Kaleidacolor stamp pad for a beautiful multicolored look. This beautiful snowflake set and its intricate pattern works well with a Kaleidacolor stamp pad. If you do not own one of these you can use your stamp pads to add various colors of inks to an image. Just make sure to always start with the lightest color first and work your way to the darkest.
Once my white panel was complete, I matted it on black and adhered it the front of the card. I used Typewriter Blocks Alpha and All About You to create the sentiment stamping it in VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.
I hope you will give the Paper Scraps Challenge a try along with the other fun challenges in the VIP group. Don't froget you have a week to create and enter for a chance to win a $50 gift code to
