Default WT202 - Pattern Pizzazz

If you're like me you love patterned paper. The more the better and those new glittered, flocked, or die-cut papers....well, I have a serious addiction. The problem is...they really lighten my wallet! I thought it would be fun to design a challenge around adding your own pizzazz to existing patterned paper. The challenge: Ways to Alter Patterned Paper. Make it special. You may want to glitter, emboss, heat emboss, flock, die-cut...whatever you can think of, some patterned paper that you have on hand to make it extra special. Just like that fancy specialty paper that carries the big $2-$3 price tag. Have fun! And in this economy...saving money always a plus! Just in case there is any question...you MUST use patterned paper to start and then customize it.

Please remember to put WT202 in your keywords section and post a link back here. Please create NEW designs for this challenge. We want to get you creating!

My Sample: Butterfly Sky

WT202 Gallery Submissions

Thanks for playing along! Enjoy the challenge!

Julia

You mean you want me to actually USE some DP? Not just collect and hoard it? Thanks, Julia.

What a wonderful challenge. I too am a patterned paper junkie and I never use it. Always so afraid that if I use it I won't have it later on. It's a horrible compulsion.
