Patterned Paper Party IG Hop - August 26

Hello friends, I'm back again to share my card for this month's Patterned Paper Party Instagram Hop. Do you love patterned paper? Do you have a huge stash that needs using? Well so do we and it's time to get it used! We will be hopping on the 20th of each month to share our ideas. We will definitely be creating cards, but maybe sometimes tags, ATCs, gift bags/boxes, mini albums and scrapbook pages too. We want our patterned paper to be used.

The theme is always 'anything goes' but each month we will have an optional twist that can be used if you like; this month the twist is 'black and white' which I'm sure will be very popular. I found a really old A5 block of black & white papers and paired them with some hot pink flowers for a pop of colour and a great sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge.  I think it turned out so pretty and I hope you like it too.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by die cutting the dotty paper using a stitched rectangle die and also a black mat layer using a plain rectangle die, I used a stitched die to cut the flower paper and again a plain die to cut the mat layer and cut the stitched circle from white card and a fancy circle to cut the black layer and used liquid glue to adhere them together.  I die cut some small flowers from bright pink card so that I could have a pop of colour and assembled them using liquid glue; I also cut some leaves from green card.  I stamped the sentiment onto white card using black ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out (I also cut 3 plain white ones so that I could layer them).  It was now time to assemble my card.  I added the flower paper panel onto the dotty panel using double sided tape and added the circle with foam tape.  The flowers, leaves and sentiment were added with liquid glue.  I finished off with some white pearls.  The panel was added to my card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I cut a white panel using the stitched rectangle and a black mat layer using the plain rectangle and adhered them together with liquid glue.  I used some of the left over paper to create a border at the bottom and also added a thin strip of black card along the top.  I added one flower and one leaf to the bottom right corner with liquid glue and stamped the sentiment in the centre using black ink.  The panel was then adhered to my card base using double sided tape.  I really like the pop of pink against the black and white.
