A "Just Because" Pretty Paper Challenge

A small piece of pretty patterned paper was left on my craft desk from yesterday's work and it was too pretty to put away. It's from Paige Evans, who designs just the prettiest papers ever. I thought that it would be nice to combine it with other patterned papers and create a card just for the Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge for April 2025. The optional theme is Springtime and I think this would qualify for that as well!

I actually used four different patterned papers here. The rainbows, which I hand cut, the flowers behind the rainbows, which are also hand cut, and the strip on the right are all from Paige Evans. The gingham is from Carta Bella. The base is Stampin' Up!'s Crushed Curry card stock, as is the card stock for the circles. The circle and scalloped dies are by Sizzix. 

Lastly the sentiment, which is by Papertrey Ink, was one stamp but I cut it into three to stamp each circle.

After looking at it as a finished card, it reminds me of girl scout badges. That takes me fondly back to not only my childhood memories, but that of my daughter's as well.

Patterned Paper is so much fun to work with and it's amazing how quickly you can make a cute little card from just a few scraps. Thanks so much to Darlene and Diane for creating just one of their many great challenges! And thank you for stopping by today!
