Homemade Paper

This card is special to me because it's the first pattern paper I made - Way Back When. Yep, the background is a paper I made a couple of years ago and just hadn't used until now. It's a mix of inks, chalks and versamark along with two different stamps. The colors I used on the paper remind me of butterflies so of course I had to use my favorite butterfly stamp. The butterfly is colored with Tombow markers and a piece of wire was used for the antennas. I've still got more of this paper so I'm sure you'll see it used in another way in the future.

The paper was made by following an instructional piece in a book. The book is Magenta Style - Paper Magic. It is my favorite book for inspiration and I highly recommend it for anyone into crafting. You can find it here. Thanks for visiting.

Hello everyone! Here's a card that was so cute that I had to share it. It was designed by Kathy Racoosin and you can find her blog here. She is the guest designer on the Penny Black Blog today and oh so talented. I hope you'll take the time to visit her blog and be inspired.



That's it for today, I'll be back tomorrow with something new to share with you. Have a great day!
