I was asked by Tiffany of "
Paper-Garden.ca" if I would like to participate in their Canada Day themed card challenge….not only that, but she offered to send me some papers to play with.
It sounded like a fun challenge and being a proud Canadian, I was excited to play along.
Here is my take on the challenge using their papers :)
The one thing I love most about living in Canada, is our beautiful land.
There is nature all around me here.
But how to incorporate this into my card…..then it came to me….birch bark :)
I punched the Maple leaves (on the banner) out of birch bark.
I coloured up this cute Prima Doll image with my Copics and then paper pieced her dress.
I added some lace to the bottom of her dress and some sparkly brads for her dress buttons.
I added a cluster of red and white flowers and then added a bit of birch bark swirls to as filler.
Here are the papers that Tiffany from Paper-Garden sent to me.
The papers on the right has such beautiful shimmer to them.
Here is a closer look at the shimmer..so pretty.
The weight to the shimmer paper is too thin to make a card out from, so I just cut it to size and adhered it on the lovely card stock they sent me :)
How fun are these simmer envelopes :)
If you would like to join in on the challenge yourself, check out this link "

I have also came to realize (yes I am dense like that) that you can vote for the card you like the most.
If you would like to do that here is the link "

I hope you all have a very creative day today :)
Tracy :)
