Hello, Crafters.
Today I’m following on from yesterday’s blog with Spotlight card no.

This is what I did with my first piece of the Inside the
Lines Designer Series Paper (DSP), which is one of the gifts that are available
in the Sale-a-bration (SAB) catalogue.
During SAB, you can choose one gift from this
catalogue for every £45.00 you spend between now and 31st March 2017.

Yesterday I explained I wasn’t happy with the three coloured
circles as I felt they were too small and left too much white space.

For my second
attempt, I punched five circles using three different sized punches and thought the result was much more pleasing.

When I was tidying up after myself on
Wednesday, I left the three circles artwork at the front of my desk so I could
see it.

All the time I was trying to think what I could do with my piece of
artwork.
My thoughts went along the lines of punching out the three colouredcircles, putting them in a line down a card, across a card, layered, not
layered and layered on squares.
Then I thought how about putting them on a
clean piece of the Inside the Lines DSP but pop them up with Dimensionals.

Icould have punched the circles out, adhere the remaining piece of DSP onto the
card base, so the Pink Pirouette showed through, and pop the circles back in
position.
I think this would work just as well but I decided to go for a
complete new piece.

I thinks that’s it for today. I hope you have a great weekend and until tomorrow, happy crafting.

Hi, Ka. Many thanks for following my blog! ☺ You're right, there's no reason why you can't create you own patterned paper. I hope you have fun with this, it's a great technique. ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
