Creating Your Own Papers

Who always needs all those designer papers, especially when you have Creative Inspiration Paints?  Yes, I love paper like many people, but it is fun to create your own!

For this card I created all my own papers:

first stamped two swirls on the card stock and then used a cotton ball to sponge some different shades of brown Creative Inspiration Paints onto the cardstock.

I used "Tan", "Raw Sienna" and "Autumn Wheat". As you can see in the above picture I first dab the cotton ball on my scrap piece of paper before onto my good cardstock as I want to dab some of the paint off first so I don't get one huge glob of it in one spot.

I just love how it turned out:

Here's another close-up after the card was put all together:

The green embossed paper:

I used "Sage" and "Green Olive" for this piece.

Have a great week!
