I have rarely, if ever, used patterned paper and ephemera in my cards before so I had so much fun playing around with these pretty papers and images!

I have two cards share, both feature combinations of these three products:

For both cards today, the only thing that I created myself were the two ink-blended ombre peach panels that I used as backgrounds for the ephemera pieces. To create them, I used a Large Bending Tool to blend Pastel Sunrise Crisp Dye Ink onto one end a 4.25″ x 5.5″ inch panel of white cardstock, letting the color fade to white as I reached about two-thirds of the way up the panel. Then I blended Rouge Crisp Dye Ink over the Pastel Sunrise, concentrating the color at the bottom of the panel.

For the card above, I trimmed one panel to about two inches wide and then adhered it to an A2-sized piece of patterned paper. Then I adhered the floral piece and the sentiment with foam tape and finished by adhere the card front to a card base. So easy!

For the card below, I trimmed my second ink-blended panel to about 3.75″ x 5″ and used foam tape to adhere it to an A2-sized piece of green patterned paper. Then I adhered a floral piece at the bottom left of the panel with foam tape. I trimmed the round circular piece so that I had two separate pieces, one of which I saved for another time. I used glue dots to adhere the other arc to the panel, with its ends tucked under the corner floral piece. Then I added the two flower buds and the sentiment, all with foam tape, before adhere the card front to a card base.

Thank you so much for coming by! Your next stop in the hop is Zinia Redo!

  11. I’m a patterned paper Junkie and like to use ephemera when my Mojo is gone and I need a quick card……so this collection is right up my alley. Well Done for having a play at using them in your projects.
