It's been a busy few days here on my blog... lots of hops and challenges to share! This one is for the Clean and Simple Instagram Hop! This month, our theme is Pattern Paper... wait, what?! How do you use pattern paper on a clean and simple card?! I'm also entering this card in to the current challenge at Just us Girls. Their theme is "summer" and what says summer more than butterflies and beautiful flowers?
It's easy... you use it sparingly!
For my card, I used this gorgeous floral paper and placed it directly on my card front. I die cut the butterfly out of a smaller panel and put it on top of the pattern paper. In retrospect, I wish I'd used some foam adhesive to add some dimension.
