I Love Picadilly Paper

I am in LOVE! 

Yup, true, head-over-heels in love!  I opened my 12x12 package of Picadilly Paper Collection from BasicGrey .... oh my!!! Have you seen all the lovely papers in there??!!  It makes me want to run out and buy a second package to keep so I can use this package ... how bad is that?

So when I saw this wonderful inspiration photo from Jay Gee's Nook - Challenge #16, I knew what to do!

Ahhhhhh, simply beautiful with minimal work on my part .. the papers did all the work!!

And since I used such lovley papers, I'm also entering this into the Pattern Paper Challenge over on Lily Pad Cards blog. 

The sentiment is from Half & Half (Papertrey Ink), the yellow crochet thread was actually white that I dyed yellow to fit the theme, and a black button (PTI) to finish the whole thing off!  I hand cut the panel that the sentiment is on and drew the black line around it free hand. 

Okay, off to create many, many more cards with these beautiful papers ... LOVE I tell ya!!

Tuesday Morning Sketch #130 and Lily Pad Card Challenge - Best Wishes Bride and Groom

My blogging buddy, Jessica, created the sketch for this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch so I wanted to play along.  As well, Lily Pad has a card challenge going on right now ... to use your favourite patterned paper and make a card with it .. no more hoarding! 

Well, I have had this paper from Stampin' Up! for years ... one of my favourite in the pack that I loved and therefore wouldn't cut into it .. until today!!

This lovely doily die was sent to me from one of my former Secret Sisters - Linda (thanks yet again!).  The colours ended up being pretty washed out ... bu the leaves are stamped with Mellow Moss and the Best Wishes sentiment (Papertrey Ink - Giga Guide Lines) is embossed in gold to match the ribbon feature which has the rest of the sentiment (from Wedding Day, Papertrey Ink) embossed in white.

What a great day of card making!  Hope you've enjoyed your Sunday as well.

See you tomorrow with another challenge card.
