Card Making with Pattern Paper Strips

Card Making with Pattern Paper Strips

Patterned papers are great for backgrounds on cards but what using them as a way to color?

This added really interesting color and pattern to her stamped images. I also love how she used patterned papers for a woven background one of her cards.
