Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper September challenge

Welcome to

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

There are loads of challenge blogs around, but, as far as I know, there is a gap that needs to be filled:

A challenge that is always about using
Patterned Papers on cards

which is why I started

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

I don't know about you, but I have enough patterned papers

to keep me going for a very long time

so let's make sure we use plenty of them

The monthly challenge will always be 'anything goes' as long as you cover your card blank or other creation with patterned paper or card, using any size or shape that you wish - there are no other rules! You can add embellishments if you wish, stamp, emboss etc - but you must cover your card blank with patterned paper or card. The creation can be for any occasion.

You can leave a small border around your paper when you adhere it to the card blank if you wish, but only a small border! And your creation doesn't have to be a card, it can be any project as long as it is covered with patterned paper.

You will be able to enter as many times as you wish during the month and link with as many other challenges as allow you to do so.

As I have an abundance of patterned paper - 12 x 12, 8 x 8, 6 x 6, A4 - I'm giving a prize each month to the randomly chosen winner. I'm willing to post anywhere in the world, so that means that anyone can enter regardless of where you live.

This is the prize for this month's challenge:

A 6 x 6 paper pack Fantastic Foils Pippi's garden collection - 24 page foiled stack (12 foiled papers, 12 patterned papers):

I hope you will join in again for the September challenge and that the news will spread even further so that others come and join us too.

September challenge

If your cards happen to fit the theme for the week on my CHNC challenge blog, please feel free to add there as well and also for my CHNC challenge extra blog, which is always 'anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

Remember that for this Patterned Paper challenge cards
can be for any occasion

I made three cards using three sheets of paper from the Fantastic Foils Pippi's garden collection - 2 sheets foiled and the other just patterned. These are some of the designs that are in this month's prize. I also used coordinating toppers and sentiments.

Once again, there were so many fantastic entries using patterned paper - I now know that I'm definitely not the only one to have a big store of patterned paper that needs using. Thanks to everyone for supporting this challenge.

Unfortunately, there could only be one winner for the August challenge and this is the result of using random.org:
