How to choose patterned paper, with video

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, is: use patterned paper.
The Virginia's view challgen is: make it colorful.


I'm not 100% sure if colorful means all the colors of the rainbow or just bright and cheerful colors like my card, a nice lime green background and a pop of orange, I think that's colorful ;-)
Still CAS ofcourse haha, sorry!


I used the Simon Says Stamp painted Hello and diecut it from a panel.
Then cut a green panel with small daisies to fit the cardbase and adhered it with tape runner.
I mounted the panel with lots and lots of foam squares and placed it on top.

I wanted something powerful, but not too busy, I m ade a video on how I choose my patterned paper this week, and used that very method for this card. Too pale a background it wouldn't make the sentiment pop, but too busy a paper the sentiment would become illegible, so I went through my stash twice and then chose these two, generic brand ones.

I used the Simon Says stamp butterfly die with the orange paper with butterflies and glitter, only put tape runner in the middle so I could pop up the wings a little.

Homemade enameldots.
