Welcome friends to the third day of our super fun challenge!
After your stop here, please stop over to Jennifer McGuire's blog to see what she created with the same two stamp sets. I am sure she created something wonderful :) (I can't wait to see)
These are the stamp sets that we have chosen for today. Paper Smooches Pretty Phrases and Lauderdale Floral by Hero Arts
...and here's my card
I stamped the background with the cool flower image to create patterned paper. The butterfly is stamped onto the base and stamped again and cut out and used as an accent. You may be able to tell that it pops! I decided to tear my base card stock to add more texture.
I think I might have mentioned a giveaway that would be posted today...well, we decided to post the details on Friday. You will have all weekend to coment and winners will be chosen and posted on Monday.
Tomorrow I'd like you to join me over at the Paper Smooches blog for my challenge card
Very nice!

Kim -
I love how you created your own background paper. The pink with the craft base is so sweet, love the combination. In fact, I love the entire card!

I love the patterned paper background you made! And the tear is just awesome!

Love the torn edge. Really gives it texture. Seriously, the sentiments are so cute ~ I love mixed fonts! :)

I love the flower background you created and the choice of colors.

Gotta love a stamp set that lets you do it all--background, focal image, sentiment. Of course, it takes a designer's eye and talent to put them all together as beautifully as you did!

I love the color combination of this card and the stamp combination you and Jennifer used. Great idea and wonderful card!
