Thanks so much to the ladies at The Paper Variety for having me as a guest designer this week for there color challenge!
I just love this color combo and this photo reminds me of something I’d be drooling at in a Pottery Barn store. My inspiration for this paper project came from the cute little woodsy-blue owl on the Cindy Loo cartridge.
Since I was going with the owl theme, I thought this would be the perfect time to use this Core Impressions paper and make this cute little bag that Robin from Robin’s Creative Cottage designed .
Since the paper was already embossed with a wood grain texture, I sanded it a little for a distressed look. I cut the owl at 3 inches and added a few leaves cut from the Potpourri Basket cartridge to bring in the challenge colors. I tied the bag together with a raffia bow, added a button and stamped a sentiment.
Thanks so much for looking and thanks to The Paper Variety for having me as a Guest Designer!
