CASology Guest Designer - Week 4

I have so enjoyed my weekly posts as guest designer this month, and although it has come to an end, I’m sure I’ll see you at the challenge each week.

I seem to be going through different techniques and products in the past weeks and this week’s focus is on patterned paper. It is not a natural tendency of mine to use patterned paper. When I started stamping 22 years ago, it was just stamps and ink without all the wonderful new products that are out there now, so often I forget to use patterned paper.

So I decided to do some paper piecing and besides being so much fun, it lets you use up the little bits that are left over from scrapping or other projects. I have gone with another Z-fold card. When I had finished my first Z-fold card a couple of weeks ago, I thought it would be great to use the grass die as the strip. So today's the day!

I used distress pens to give shadows and added white gel pen to highlight areas.

So here’s sending you all some Happy Thoughts … and a creative weekend.

Thank you Melissa and the CASology team for having me as the guest for October.
