This card is for Paula's "Don't Color Between the Lines" challenge for HYCCT. I wanted to try my hand (again) at creating a toile pattern, so I pulled out some stamps and practiced on copy paper until I got an arrangement I was content with, then duplicated it on cardstock. I didn't want to cover up all of my work, so I just added a simple wrap of ribbon and a fancy-ish bow...

I really like how this turned out. I'm afraid I'd have to use a full ream of copy paper to experiment with before I'd come up with something as nice as this!

Your rich velvet bow is really the perfect accent to that fantastic background! Your hand created paper is amazing. What a great idea to copy it so it can be used repeatedly!

You MADE that toile paper from individual stamps?! Go you!! I thought it was a giant background stamp for sure! It looks fabulous! The bow and gem are the perfect accents, too!
