Membership Monday ~ March 2022 Whit Kit ~ Big Memories Card Kit ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

No matter how hard I try I can't seem to get time to play with the wonderful Whit Kit card kits until near the end of the month. I've been so excited to play with the March 2022 Whit Kit called Big Memories! Before I really delved into papercrafting I loved to take photographs! So I especially love camera and camera related stamps. The detail in the beautiful camera stamp in this kit makes my heart so happy! It only needs a little touch of color and bam - Beautiful!

Today, I wanted to share a fun way to make pattern paper backgrounds... 2-ways!

A very simple background idea with two totally different looks.

My first card has nice straight lines and angles. I cut strips of the four pattern papers all at 1-1/8 x 6" and then adhered them to a card front that I die cut with the largest stitched rectangle die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} from Unity.

 I adhered the pattern paper background to a dark pattern paper from the Enveloped in Love {paper pack} that I've cut to a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" card front. I stamped the camera stamp with Gina K. Designs Black Amalgam ink and heat embossed some Hero Art Fine Clear Embossing powder. I popped up the cameras on both cards with foam tape.

I watercolored the heat embossed camera with the Pearlescent watercolors included in the kit. I stamped the sentiment with the same Black Amalgam ink and heat embossed it too. I blended a bit of Hickory Smoke and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks around the edge of the sentiment.

For my second card I tore the pattern paper strips leaving a rough white edge to each paper strip.

I love the pop of white that the torn edges gives to the card. 

And I left this sentiment clean and white to coordinate with the pops of white from the torn edges. 

I can't really decide which of the two pattern paper backgrounds I like better. I really like how both cards turned out and are just slightly different from each other.
