Moving Along with the Times - No Designer Papers



Moving Along with the Times, Team B's turn this week and the theme, set by Sue, is No Designer Papers. This means you can make your own background papers by stamping, spraying, sponging or any other technique you like using. You could just use layers of card or leave it CAS with just the image, it's up to you but come along and join us.

I decided to use my purple Cosmic Shimmer mist first of all and after that I stamped a little flower image randomly across the paper. The stamp is by Anita and I've used it loads, it must be the one stamp that I have used regularly and I've had it for years. I used my Promarkers to colour the flowers in shades of purple and did the centres in yellow. I matted this paper on to Crafters Companion purple card. I used my Spellbinder dies on more of the CC card to make the fancy border, the Happy Birthday sentiment nestie and an ornate base for another flower which I'd cut out to use as an embellishment. I asked one of my sons if it would pass muster and he said that it was OK for an old person! I'm sure he loves me really but he does believe in calling a spade a spade. lol

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
Paper Crafting Journey - Anything Goes
ABC Challenge - What's old is new again.
Created with Love Challenges - Anything Goes
Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes
Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

    Hi Hazel, sincere apologies for not getting round and comment on your cards before - it's been hectic here with my daughter off on half-term hols last week and lots of DIY this week!

    Your card is lovely, very inventive to make your own background and you've used a lovely colour.

    Promise to be back soon!
