If you are a fan (or secret hoarder) of patterned papers, you are going to love this month's challenge!
Because August is all about focussing on...
Pattern
Yes, when it comes to patterned paper we either love it or hate it.
Or we love it so much we don't want to cut into it and actually use it on a project!
But patterned papers are one of my favourite things to use in crafting. It can be a challenge to combine more than one pattern on the same project but you'll get extra gold stars if you manage it. :D
However, pattern comes in many forms - it can be as simple as you like.
You can create your own patterns with cover plates, stamps, pen lines, dies, and all manner of things.
You can even give ready-made patterns a boost, such as this lovely sheet of paper I still have in my stash:
This paper is perfect for hand-stitching with matching thread. It really brings the background to life and all you need to do is add a sentiment.
Otherwise, look at your patterned paper scraps, just punching or die-cutting shapes from various patterns enables you to create a fun look like this:
I'm sure you have plenty of papers in your craft stash that are patiently waiting to be selected!
Happy crafting!
