Do you love playing with patterns? I’ve loved playing with geometric figures since high school geometry class! This designer paper really appeals to me. Today I’m playing with blue patterns!
I have to tell you a funny story. Funny to me anyway! I was building this card front with the colors and patterns on the other side of these blue papers. But I was not loving where it was going. However, I had glued the side strips down to the middle and there was no un-doing it. I started to toss it in the trash when it flipped over and caught my eye. Hey, I loved the back!!! And I practically caught it in mid-air. It became a card after all. 🙂
I decided to make a fun center point with two shades of blue, so I cut two identical circles, one with Night of Navy and one with Misty Moonlight. I chopped off the Moonlight circle and glued the smaller piece to the Navy circle. Then the white needed texture, so I looked for something with circles in it to continue the theme. Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder has just the look I was going for.
I picked my sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthdays, but it could be for any kind of a celebration. What do you think? I am pleased with my mistake/save! Oh, I forgot to mention, I covered the paper seams with the Navy Ribbon from Playing With Patterns Ribbon Pack.
