This whole card came about because of that patterned paper. Not that it's anything fancy but I wanted the stripes to show. It's Paper Rose's Dip Dye Basics. I don't tend to do my own inked backgrounds, but if I can buy paper with the same look - I'm happy! I wanted an open frame so more showed through. Then after I settled on the Concord & 9th flowers - I realized I had a Concord & 9th sentiment that was also open.
I kind of blew it with the sentiment because the center of the "O" had options for a heart or three little hearts that would have made it more interesting. It was already adhered so too late - but it did give me the idea to use little hearts for the flower centers.
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
