Tonight's card was created for three challenges! Kind of fun when that happens. A sketch, a color and a theme all combined into one card. Anne Marie, over at The Paper Players, provided me with a sketch and JoAnn at Seize the Birthday is looking for the color red. Those two played along quite well with the gals over at Double D Challenges who have asked us to use patterned paper. I just reorganized my 12x12 sheets by cutting them down to a more manageable size and packaging them by like colors. I knew just the reds I would pull and then I put the sketch to work.
Simple Stories papers, PTI's Pretty Peonies and a PF leafy die cut provided me with everything I needed. I started with an ivory base embossed with my fav polka dots then layered on all of the components following the sketch.
I really should use my patterned paper more often. I use to put it on just about every card I made! Goodness know I have enough of it! Thanks for popping in!

Another wonderful card using pattern papers. Well done combining challenges too.
This pretty pp design is a great take on all the challenges, Lisa! I love how you have used the red outline flowers with the different patterns and the polkie-dotted e/f! Hugs, Darnell
Oooh, I just love these red together! The neutral leaves add just the right touch and your floral is beautiful! You nailed all these challenges and we're happy you shared it with us at the Players too!
What a great card for a combination of challenges. This is fantastic, Lisa! I love the play on pattern and color. You've brought everything together perfectly. So glad you linked up to the Double D challenge. Best of luck to you!
Lovely use of the papers and red! Thanks for sharing at STB
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL card Lisa! I love how you added so many elements, but yet this card still looks CAS! Beautifully done my friend!! And 3 challenges...you go girl!! Hugs. :0)
Let me start by saying that I really love the creamy cardstock - there's a reason why these fabulous paper printers use it instead of white... of course it's so we will use it too! LOve your chosen prints, the layout is fabulous, and it all comes together so beautifully, Lisa!
Swooning over here!

So pretty Lisa with your red PP along with the white embossed background. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
Oh, Lisa, this is so pretty! I like your idea of grouping the colors. Your peonies look great with the papers, and you aced the sketch! I say the same about using my patterned papers more, too. I think the current Double Challenge gave me a boost. I'm glad you put your papers to work and played along with us!
You did quite a fab job picking out your patterned papers, ef, diecuts, and stamps. Gorgeous.
You had perfect papers for these challenges, Lisa, and the peonies go with the papers beautifully!
LOVE the texture from your dotty dry embossed background and your pretty mix of patterned papers, Lisa. Beautifully finished with the flowers and die-cuts. xx
a perfect match with your paper and stamped flowers. Love the card xx
Perfect sketch, color and theme for your beautiful card -- you pulled it off with great success! Love the reds and textures you used, and hey, use that paper stash!
This card has it all, Lisa - fabulous embossing, stamping, die cuts & coordinating patterned papers - love, love, love it!!
We all should probably use our patterned paper more, Lisa, especially when cards as beautiful as yours can be made with it. I love the embossed dots in the background and the outline peonies. They pair so well with those wonderful red papers.
Oh wow, I really like this!! The red and white are so striking, and I love the papers you chose. It's just beautiful!! Lots of wonderful work here, and great take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Double D, I hope we see you back again soon!

This is beautiful! I would never have occurred to me to put multiple bold patterns behind those lovely flowers - but in just red and white, it totally works. LOVE it!
Lovely take on the sketch, Lisa. Love the mix of patterned papers you used.
Now this card is just lovely. I love the colour scheme and the way you used those patterned papers! Thanks so much for playing along with The Paper Players sketch.
Beautiful card Lisa. Glad these three challenges helped you make this lovely card, especially the reds. :) Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
Such a gorgeous and elegant card, Lisa! Great way to combine the challenges, too. Thanks so much for playing along with my sketch this week over at The Paper Players!
This is fantastic, Lisa. I love the trio of inspiration here. And what a great idea to cut and sort your patterned paper!!! Gonna steal that one!
I have hopes to still cut down my 12 x 12 DSP as the final step on my craftroom refresh! We will see if I actually do it as I am kind of ready to be done.😝 As for your mix of papers and design. Everything blends so well together. There is something about a polka-dotted background that I just love. Pretty card my friend and happy to see you in our gallery at Seize the Birthday.
I just love how your card turned out, Lisa! Those leaves are such a great element!
Gorgeous card with those pretty patterns and texture, thankyou for playing along at Seize the Birthday, Cathy x
