I went to Micheal's on Saturday and while browsing around, I happened to see this gorgeous little pack of Origami Paper. I fell in love right away and knew I had to bring them home! Now, I realize that this is old stuff for some of you, and I've seen projects with these papers too, but have never actually seen them close up, or had the chance to feel the texture. They are so soft and beautiful! Here's the pack:
And another photo of some of these gorgeous papers:
I had a difficult time making this card! I had the idea of the design I wanted, but had such a hard time cutting into the paper! I also do not have any swirly leaf stamps, so I had to hand draw the stem. (Not done very well.) I added the leaves and small flowers from the Hero Arts Real Flowers Clear Set and couldn't resist adding some Diamond Stickles to the leaves. The sentiment is also Hero Arts.
I work tonight, then 4 more days of working until my time off! Not going anywhere, just staying home. My favorite kind of vacation! I hope everyone has a good start to the week!
Give someone an unexpected compliment today and see the smile it puts on their face! :)

Hi Barb, it's my first visit and I really enjoyed it. Your cards are great and Murphy looks so sweet. Have a great day!

I love your design, Barb! I've seen those papers, but never have worked with them.....they are lovely!
beautiful paper Barb, such a nice selection. I will have to look out for this pack next time I am at Michaels. Your card is awesome, just beautiful! :)
This is really gorgeous! I really like how the curve of the flower leaves are behind the origami paper!! I love working with origami paper and experimenting w/it...have a stash in my cupboard, you've inspired me to take it out again!
Gorgeous card, Barb! Love your hand drawn stem...it's perfect!
Your papers look scrummy Barb... no wonder you didn't want to cut them. Just as well you did as your card is delightful. Love it!!!
