Make Your Own Backing Paper


Happy New Year to you all,
The first challenge of the year at CRAFT challenge is sponsored by 


I made my papers digitally. For the bottom layer I made a textured background in a design program and then used a heart digital punch to add the pattern. The upper layers were made by creating a square filled with gradient colour and then digital stamps were added and built up.

My image is called Reading Beauty by Saturated Canary



The flowers were from Wild orchids; Joanna Sheen  and Hobby Craft.
The swirls were made with Marianne Dies.
The lace is from Hobby Craft.

I am entering this card into the following challenges.
My Mum's Craft Room - Anything goes
The Pink Elephant - Anything goes
Make it Monday - Always Anything goes
Whoopsi Daisy - Celebrate
By the Cute and Girly - Cute and Girly
Cards by Lady Anne - Anything goes
Saturated Canary - inspired by a song (Beauty and the Beast by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson)

Have fun with this challenge and please stop by my fellow teamies blogs to look at their inspirational projects.
