Mixing patterned paper can be a challenge when you are creating a card.
Today along with this weeks card sketch I am going to share a couple of tips for putting patterns together. I used the Party Animal Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Catalog page 5.
I picked three patterns – odd numbers tend to look best. Once you get the hang of mixing three you can try putting five different patterns together.
- Pick your focal point pattern (center paper)
- Your next one should color coordinate with your focal point pattern but be larger or smaller in print. (packages)
- Add different scales so for the third pattern you wanted it a different scale than pattern 1 & 2. I chose the candles they are just a bit smaller than the packages.
While all of my papers tend to have the same colors remember they don't have to be the same colors, just coordinate well.
I hope these tips help you next time you are picking out several papers for your project.
Here is this week's card sketch. It is hard to believe that I have been sharing sketches each Sunday for 3 months! I would love to see what you come up with. Snap a picture with your smart phone and upload it to my Facebook Page.
I used the Birthday Banners stamp set for today's card that I just got in my Stampin' Up! order this week. It was a new set featured in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. Sometimes I can't get all the I love ordered before the next catalog comes out, the Holiday Catalog and before you know it, the Occasions and Sale-a-Brations are here.
After 19 years I still can't get enough of Stampin' Up! stamp sets and products. As a demonstrator I am not required to only share with you Stampin' Up! products, however there isn't enough time to share all that I love.
