Flourishes Timeless Tuesday: Patterned Paper

"It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC19)! This week Cindy Haffner is our host. She is challenging us to use designer papers. Now, I realize that designer papers are about as necessary to card making as spellbinders die cuts, but there is a lot that you can do with designer papers. You can stamp on them, use border punches, color them, paper piece, die cut shapes, cut out images to use as a focal point, or just to enhance the look of your card. Whichever option you choose to do, we would love to see what you create."

I love patterned paper. I horde patterned paper. I have a hard time cutting patterned paper. I am trying to get better about cutting it up and using it! :) I grabbed some Webster's Pages paper to create this card for our challenge this week. The background of the topiary was airbrushed with a pale orange, in an attempt for a sunset/Tuscan feel, so the orange papers seemed to work well. (at least in my head :))
The thing I love the most about this card, is the way the Flower Soft works with the topiary image. LOVE the effect!
thanks for stopping by! :)

This is such a great card, Kim! I love the flower soft on the topiary. I used to be the same way with patterned paper, espcially when it came to using it on layouts. I think card making has made me a better scrapbooker because I just use it now!
