Creating My Own Paper:)

Welcome to Funky Cards!

Last night my dad came home and asked me to make a card package with 7 cards for a co-worker who is retiring.  I wanted to try something new so I decided to make  my own paper:)

Here is what I did.  I started with a blank piece of white card stock.

First, to take away the stark white color, I used the lightest green Studio G Ink to distress the entire background of the paper.  Next, using Martha Stewart flower stamps I recently won in a blog hop, I stamped the entire background with three different shades of blue and four different shades of green  Studio G Ink.

Here you can see the paper on the card I made.  This is the package I made last night to give to my dad:)  He asked for all blank cards.  This was really a fun project and I love how it turned out.  What do you think?  Leave me a comment and let me know:)

Thanks for stopping by today!
