Pattern Paper with Eucalyptus

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Looks like I'm still thinking green!


I used a little piece of Alexandra Renke patterned paper and paired it up
with a NBUS die from Simon Says Stamp.

I've die cut the leaves from a snippet of light green and used a finger sponge dauber
to add some ink around the edges of the leaves and along the stem.
Easy peasy!

Challenges:
AAA Birthday - Patterned Paper
NBUS #24 - Never Before Used Schtuff (Eucalyptus Leaves)

 



Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Beautiful, Bonnie. I love Alexandra Renke papers and there is only one shop here that carries them. I am hoping in another week I can go visit her shop and stock up. The shaded eucalyptus leaves are gorgeous and perfect with this paper.

What pretty paper and the green eucalyptus die cuts look beautiful with it. I have always admired Alexandra Renke papers but difficult to get our end. Such a wonderful card Bonnie x.

Such a peaceful spring-summer look. And a clever way to use that pretty pattern paper.

Gorgeous AR paper, and I adore those Eucalyptus branches - another one I'd borrow if you lived next door!
Keep the greens coming, Bonnie - I'll never tire of them! xx

Beautiful use of your pretty pp, and your die perfectly sends it all into wonderland! As for most of us, I'm pretty sure we're all LOVING the fact that we're seeing green (in the best of ways - Spring)!

Love the paper and your card, it's so bright and fresh!

I can never have too much green! So nice to see it after a long winter. Love the die. I have one of those huge eucalyptus trees with the skinny leaves that shed all over. Messy!

Susan said...

I love that subtle patterned paper! So pretty with the sprigs of eucalyptus and the green border.
