As much as I love working with my own stamps, but it is really nice to break out something totally different after I've been working with one set for awhile. I was lucky enough to talk my local scrapbook store into carrying this gorgeous Queen Bee Pink Paislee paper. And I loved breaking it out!
And I'm obsessed with crepe paper! I love love love it. I'm telling the stuff is so fun to work with. For this cards I ruffled it and then sewed it down on both sides! As you all know I love texture and it really has such a great texture in real life.

ReplyDeleteFun idea Courtney- I've got to try this thing, sewing on crepe paper. Last time I bought crepe paper, and I think the only time, was when my son started school and they asked for two green rolls to paper mache a frog!
