Mosaic Madness for CCMC263

It's Thursday and we have a new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week is a sketch challenge, here's a look.

I wasn't sure where to go with this at first.  I ended up choosing Mosaic Madness so I could make my own patterned paper.  Here's the card I made.

I had Polka Dot Parade DSP sitting out from a previous project, so I picked the Razzleberry paper to start out with.  I love the look of Razzleberry and Coastal Cabana so I made a pattern on Whisper White with those two colors.  I added the DSP and my home made pattern in the shapes of the sketch on the Coastal Cabana card stock.  I made my card base Whisper White with the intention of a Razzleberry layer then realized I was out!  I only had a tiny bit of the DSP left which is why you only see Razzleberry on the sides instead of a full background mat.  I added in small punched flowers with Candy Dots and my greeting to complete the card.  This was a fun challenge, I hope you will join in!  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details.  Check out the cards made by all the Design Team Members, they are fantastic!
Thanks for stopping by!  See you tomorrow for Flashback Friday!

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

Your color combination is so pretty and I adore that you made your own unique designer paper to go with the Polka Dot paper! I think having just strips of Razzleberry under the top layer is a great look! Beautiful card!

Love your homemade DSP! A great way to use up all those small scraps of white cardstock!

Love just the right amount of miniature flowers on your card front to coordinate the colors of your layers!

Too funny...I actually looked thru my Quatrafancy DSP to find this color pattern...but I love that you made it! The flowers add just the right touch! Great job with the sketch this week!

Great job on the handmade DSP! I don't think I could have done as good of a job...your measurements are perfect! Love the color combo.
