I’m not sure what to say about this Artistry Blooms Just Because Card. I have seen cards with these woven scraps of cardstock or designer paper before so I just thought maybe I would get out my Artistry Blooms Designer Paper again and cut some strips to decorate a Halloween card. And this is what I got instead! It’s not Halloween!
The card base is Thick Whisper White Cardstock. If you are making a card without layers, the Thick Whisper White is strong enough to stand on its own. Since I thought I was making a Halloween card, I cut strips or used scraps of the Artistry Blooms paper that could look like fall or Halloween. But once I got the strips woven together (which really was easy enough to do), I wasn’t sure what else to put on the card!
Finally, I decided on a bunch of leaves from the Lovely You Stamp Set. In order to incorporate most of the colors of the paper strips, I colored the leaves in different fall colors with Stampin’ Write Markers right onto the stamp. This technique makes the stamped image lighter so I colored over the stamped image a little bit with the same colored markers. The greeting is also from the same stamp set and is stamped in Pumpkin Pie.
So the lesson for today is you never know what you are going to create for sure until you sit down and do it! But enjoying the process and using the supplies is the real fun of it!
