I wasn’t in the mood to start another big project so decided to pull out some random paper and see what I came up with.  I used a 12×12 sheet of paper from a package I picked up a couple months ago at Tuesday Morning.  The paper is from the Farm House Paper Company’s Market Square collection.  I liked the vintage look and thought with the colors and prints it would be good for masculine cards.

The paper is double sided and I ended up using most of 1 sheet to make 4 cards.  I used the muted floral print as the background on all the cards.  It was a large print, but I think it worked.  The flip side of the floral is the red/white checked print.  Brown cardstock was used for the matting.

The first 2 cards used the red/white checked print for a horizontal panel.  I stamped the sentiment on off-white paper but it looked too “bright” with the other papers.  I then stamped the sentiment on kraft cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and think it matches much better.  I popped up the sentiment with foam tape and added a few brown paper flowers on the left side.

For the next 2 cards I used the same printed papers and added a thin strip of rusty red paper from the same collection.  I used Love from Lizi matte gold peel-offs to mat the red horizontal strip and added a few more brown paper flowers.  An oval die was used to cut the sentiment panel.

I really like the papers in this collection and think it will be easy to pull out a sheet or 2 when I’m in the mood to make a few quick cards.
