 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I thought about creating with this stamp set - I was a bit challenged.  This stamp set is PERFECT for scrapbooking, but I decided I will make a card and chose to be inspired from CTMH’s Wishes How-to-book. 

It had been a while since I used this how-to book and I was excited to see so many familiar images as I looked through the patterns.

I chose to use the “Collage” pattern on pg. 97 of the Wishes book.
.  

Here is the card… 

I chose to create a background with the fun words in this set. By pairing together the ink colors of cotton candy, blush, whisper & juniper, it allowed me to bring a bit of color into this card design. J

 

Can you guess what paper packs I used in my creating??

I put together our Lollydoodle & some of the Timberline papers to create my own color scheme.   

I enjoy challenging myself to use a variety of paper packs in my creations!!

I LOVE the new embossing folders that CTMH has…and I needed a subtle background.  I really liked how the embossed dots turned out on this card design & I hope you enjoy it too!!
