The Cute Card Thursday challenge this week is to use patterned papers. I love my patterned papers - the only problem I have had is choosing the papers so ... I have ended up with 3 cards!!!On the first one I chose Papermania's Raspberry Champagne Creative Tones papers. I love the daisy paper and cut swirls of briars from a matching paper to create the effect of Tilda walking through flowers. Iuused this idea in my Papertake Wekkly Lime and Lilac challenge and really like the effect. However I am not sure it has quite worked this time, I think it might need some green.
So then I had a go with with this lovely Tilda.
I used Papermaina retro floral papers and matted Tilda onto them. I love the contrast between the brown and the blue.
Instead of adding ribbon I used some check paper left over from another card (Basic Grey's Two Scoops).
I was tempted to add a large flower but wasn't sure when I tried it - might get a bit too busy!
Finally I had a go with a Sugar Nellie Tracy sent me. I loved colouring her in and could become addicted to sugar Nellies!!I have used K&Co Kimberley Hodges strippy paper and put it through my Bug to add some texture. I have used papers from Papermania's Retro Floral pack - I chose the brown to co-ordinate with the brown chairs and add a bit of darker, les bright colour. I have used some cerise ribbon to join the papers together, and a die cut flower to finish it off.
I have to say it is a bit loud for me, but I loved playing with these papers.
Hope you like them.

I know what you mean about having difficulty in choosing papers - if I spent as much time using the papers as I do stroking them and choosing them I would have loads of cards made lol
