Welcome to day 3 of Papercraft Star's Anniversary! Today's challenge is from the very talented Jinny! Her challenge is to create a card without using patterned paper. Now this was a challenge for me since I love my patterned papers. For my card I used a sketch from this week's
CPS challenge. I started out with some
lunch bag cardstock from The Kraft Outlet. I matted some soft sky cardstock that I embossed with a swiss dot folder. I then added some blush blossom on the side along with some lace from my stash. Instead of an image I used a crown which I made using Spellbinder's nested crowns. I then distressed the edges of the crown with some antique linen. For my sentiment I cut out a banner by hand and stamped "thanks so much" in basic black. To give the banner a little shine I added some silver stickles along the edge. There you have it, a card with NO patterned papers! It was a tough one for me but I bet you can tackle this one with flying colors. Just link it up to this post over at
The Papercraft Star and Jinny will choose one entry to win a prize from our sponsor
The House Across The Bay, along with her own giveaway! So be sure to stop by her

This is absolutely beautiful, Anitra! I just adore that embellished crown, and your length of lace is such a great touch! It was a bit of a challenge, for me, too! It's rare that I make anything without DSP. Thanks for trying ;)! You did fabulously!
