I’ve always found working with patterned paper to be a bit challenging, particularly when working to use multiple patterns in one design. So I decided to challenge myself by creating a pack of cards using multiple patterns on each design. As I tell my son when he encounters a challenge, “practice makes progress.” And naturally, practice also allows us to feel more comfortable within a particular challenge.
I received the SU! Inked Botanicals designer series paper as part of one of my most recent supply orders. I was really drawn to the cheery designs included in this paper pack and how they could lend themselves to all types of occasions. I was also a little surprised to discover that using floral patterns does not necessarily equate to a feminine design. My biggest take-away while designing this card pack is that working with several patterns is easier when you focus on combining smaller and larger patterns into one design. This way, the patterns compliment one another rather than competing for attention.
This lovely card pack is now up in the Etsy shoppe and available for purchase.
