I am so excited to be part of the Papertrey Pixies. Our first challenge is to create our own patterned paper. I used the rickrack die to cut different scraps of cardstock to make my background. When I first saw this die, I thought it would be so much fun to create a background with it, so I was really excited when I saw this challenge. If you can’t tell by now, I am totally in love with this die. I think I have used it on every card I have made since I got it. It is so much fun. I sponged Broken China distress ink onto white cardstock with the blending tool then stamped the plane from Fly Away in Scarlet Jewel. I then rounded the opposite corners and tied twine around the image before adhering it to my card base with foam tape. The buttons tied with twine were the finishing touch.
