My first blog post of the year and I'm showcasing a stunning paper pad called Countryside by CrafTangles. I just love the beautiful colours and designs, don't you?
I've used a selection of the papers and added a few elements as they need so little in my opinion.
For my first card I've added a die cut border, doily and a wooden sentiment to a couple of the papers from the pad.
For my next card, I cut out rectangles from one of the sheets of paper and added a dark brown backing. On one of them I stamped a sentiment and I stuck them on in a random fashion. I just love that leaf backing paper.
For my final card, I matt and layered a selection of card and paper finishing with an oval aperture. I added a fussy cut element, some twine and a sentiment to finish.
This post is inspiration for the first of CrafTangles Monthly Challenges and you can find more information on it HERE. The theme for this month has been kept simple with 'Anything Goes' so I hope you'll join in!
I hope you have a great weekend and see you again soon,
Shabneez
