I have some more homework to share from Day 3 of Pattern Play.
Day 3 lessons were on how to tackle big and bold patterns. Kristina taught the technique of cutting the paper and spacing it out to soften the look. For my first card I adhered the paper strips to a piece of complimentary cardstock and for my second card I used a piece of co-ordinating patterned paper for my background. A fun technique but spacing out my patterned strips wasn't as easy as it looked.
Cardstock: White , Vintage Cream, Limeade Ice (Papertrey Ink)
Patterned Paper: Egg Drop Soup (Jillibean) Marrakech Masala Bella (Basic Grey)
Stamps: Heart-2-Heart #3 (Papertrey Ink) Sunnier Days (Simon Says Stamps)
Ink: Summer Sunrise, True Black (Papertrey Ink)
Dies: Fabulous Frames (Papertrey Ink)
other: foam tape

These are so beautiful! I love how you spaced out the large pattern, Tracey! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous class work!
These are PRETTY Tracey! You're rockin this class girl! The paper on your first card is too cute ;)
These are both fabulous. We must have been sending creative brain waves to each other. I love the papers you chose, and your sentiments, too. I agree that lining up those strips is not an easy task.
Tracy these are both fabulous...
I love those umbrellas!! :)
Aren't these videos wonderful?
I'm behind with homework...maybe I'll catch up tomorrow since we have turned off COLD and there's a chance of some mix tomorrow...
aarrggghhhh!!!
I'm over winter...
my trees are blooming! :(
But maybe I can start to put a dent in some of the 25000 sheets of PP I happen to have just laying around! :)
Gorgeous cards. Both really highlight the paper well.
I love the deep, rich colors on the second card and the cheery feel on the first.
just perfect- always beautiful
Looks like you are enjoying the class and creating some awesome cards!
I have that umbrella paper and love it, but always wondered how to use it. Thanks so much for the great idea, Tracey! I love how these cards turned out :-)

Congratulations!
Wow, Tracey, doing this would send me shuddering from the room! But you show how wonderful it can turn out! Both cards are fantastic and I know how hard it is to space panels of any kind and get them perfect. Well done!

Tracey, your cards are both phenomenal. I love them. Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog for the Casology card.

Oh my gosh I love these! You get an A+ on your homework! Nice way to use up some paper too! Hope you are feeling much better.
