3. I added the image coloured with Copics and fussy cut.

Patterned Paper April Challenge

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

Here is my make as part of the Design Team of
 Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge!!

a monthly challenge to encourage crafters to use their patterned paper

Do you know - I have so much patterned paper in my craft room!!


I used lots of papers from my stash to make another Easter card.
.
Once again I used a double sided paper to make the base - cutting a slant across the top and scoring at 4 inches and 8 inches. This make a sort of zig zag card
'

I added extra paper to continue this effect and added House Mouse images that I had coloured and cut out on my table...



The sentiment is from Craftstash and stamped on layered ovals.



Hope you will join the Patterned Paper Challenge!



For just a little more fun, I added some bunny pegs...



Look back a couple of posts to see another version of this card:
