Mix It Up - Cardz TV Stamps

Happy Friday everyone!  It is challenge day over at Cardz TV!  I love these days, because I get to play with Mary's amazing stamps - I can always find the perfect sentiment, not matter the challenge!  Today Mary challenged us to create a card with at least 3 PATTERNED PAPERS.  

So, I have to be honest.  I found this challenge extremely difficult!  Any of you, who regularly visit my blog, will know that I often use no patterned paper at all on my cards - or maybe one piece... but THREE??!!  I guess that's why they call it a challenge :)  Here is what I came up with:


I decided to go as simple as possible with this card.  I found a paper pad I bought last year and I knew that it would work perfectly with Cardz TV's "School Days" set.  The red panels are 1 1/4 x 4 inches by 4 inches.  The patterned paper is 1 inch by 3 3/4 inches and it's all on an A2 size card.  The card stock is all from Michael's.  I inked my stamp with my Versa Fine ink and doodled around with my Sakura Jelly Roll pens.  The ribbon is from Michael's.  I popped up the sentiment on one layer of foam tape.  The School Days set is one of Mary's earlier stamp sets, and I love it for all those teacher gifts.  You can buy your own HERE.



Our challenge starts today and finishes April 18th at noon EST.  One lucky participant will win a set of Cardz TV Stamps of their very own!  Hop on over to Cardz TV, see what all my talented DT sisters came up with to inspire you, and play along with us.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!
