Hee, hee! This is my favorite card I've ever made with patterned paper. Except maybe the third one on this post. But I love how the flower is made of punched and inked hearts, and the leaves are punched and inked country hearts. That button (PTI vintage) totally rocks, too.
The inside is lined with the kindergarten writing paper because the card is ruby red cardstock, too dark to write on easily. I added a heart punch inside, too, just for fun.
Personal Stuff: If you don't read my other blog, Questioning my Intelligence, and love wildlife, you might scoot over to this post and read all about our experience releasing an owl back into the wild. Pictures, too!
Supplies
stamps: PTI Signature Greetings, Green Thumb (stem)
ink: Palette chocolate chip, some green ink I can't remember
paper: ruby red and various patterened papers
accessories: heart punches, button, DMC floss
OOhhhh, I wanna be you when I grow up. You create such WONDERFUL things. Totally love this.
ReplyDeleteWow - you can do pp!! Love the flower and of course the button. Another gorgeous creation.

How cute is this! Any kid would be thrilled to get this --- and, I think, get a kick out of an adult writing on kids' paper! I love that you used punched hearts for this, it really adds to the card. Wonderfully creative card!
ReplyDeleteP.S. And I loved the whole story of the owl. "Fly free, owl!" is such a great end to the story.
ReplyDeleteAnother fine design you've gotten us into, Susan. Wait, does that make sense? Anyway, I love the color combo and, of course, that paper!!
ReplyDeleteReally cute idea, would make a great card for teachers!

wow!! this is awesome use of that designer paper!! and the punches too!! I've been looking for a good country heart style punch!
ReplyDeleteThis card, like all your others, is beautiful. But I'm not sure that really qualifies as patterned paper, LOL! It's as clean and 'white' as patterned paper could possibly be! Let's call it "Late Blossom Patterned Paper". Thanks for the smile!
ReplyDeleteAnother great card, Susan! Congrats on using DP:)
ReplyDeleteTriple layers and patterned paper??? What next, Susan?
ReplyDeleteAnd look how perfectly that sentiment fits in the lines of the paper!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Jo x

Clever and original as always. I would never have thought of combining that paper with a big red flower, but it works brilliantly,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your encouraging words on the CAS favorites today, that was a nice surprise.
This is toooooo cool!! Love that pattern paper!
ReplyDeleteI really like this a lot. But then I'm a sucker for things that look like ordinary stationery. Very nice.
ReplyDeletePatterned paper... who knew! :P Great, stylish card.
ReplyDeleteI just love this card because it's CUTE, and I have such a hard time making cute that doesn't look like a tired cliche. The button, the paper, the shape of the hearts........so original, so you, just perfect again!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I love this card. Your background paper is just the perfect touch for this card. I'm definitely going to be case'ing this one. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations with us.
ReplyDeleteI guess the problem is I never have good patterned paper like this stuff here. I always get overblown patterns, when I should be going more subtle, like this paper.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card for a teacher!
