Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge: This can get Ugly!!! :)



Hello Friends and welcome to The Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge!  Hope you're all having a great week!  We have a fun challenge today!  I know most of us who make craft projects have some paper pads, right?  Aren't there papers you have which just aren't your style or maybe you think they're just plain ugly?!!  Lol  Well you might want to use some of those papers by joining in our challenge this week!  That's right, our theme is to Use Your Ugly Papers!!!

Our fantastic sponsor this week is Eureka Stamps!!!

Here is my card...


So most of you might know that I just love paper!  There's a hint in the name of my blog...My Paperie Dreams! :)  I have tons of it too and many of my favorites like G45 and Prima often stay in my hoard vault for quite some time!  When making cards, I seem to look for certain designs and others I have trouble finding the perfect project or card to use them for.  That's what made this challenge lots of fun for me.   For my card, I used some patterns and colors I would not normally use.  Not that I think they are actually ugly because it really is hard for me to find true "ugly" papers!  LOL  However, they aren't ones that I would normally reach for when making something.  Let me start off with the cute image which is  My Guy Ian  by The Greeting Farm.  I knew this guy would make anything look adorable!  I also have a few "guy" birthdays to make some cards for so I thought he would be perfect!  Now for my papers, I did use a paper pad I really like which is called Powder Mountain by Bo Bunny.  These papers are very pretty and perfect for many occasions.  But I have to admit that there are a few sheets which have not been touched.  As you an see, there is a background of some pine cones and also some darker patterns.  Both are not papers I would have normally picked out.  But I do think they turned out pretty cool with cute Ian.  Plus this card is going to good friend who enjoys hiking and being outdoors so maybe he'll dig the pine cones! Lol I'm hoping he'll like this card and I hope you all do too! :)

Here are some additional supplies used on my card:
Black Tuxedo - Memento
Faded Jeans - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Hope you all like my card and have a wonderful week!

Marcy

  2. You have a way with putting patterned papers together. I love paper, but only use a little at a time as I can't get them to work together. I love the way these patterns came together, and you didn't lose Ian in the mix (I find I loose my sentiments or image in the mix.) I am sure he will LOVE this card.

  3. I think the Pine cone print would be the only one I'd struggle with but I love how it's all come together here. Great card. I'm sure it will be much appreciated.

  4. Love how you have used the papers Marcy. I wouldn't have chosen your 'ugly' papers for a male card but it really works. Have a great week. Hugs Nina
