Card For Patterned Paper Challenges

Today's card is made for two challenges. First, over at Shopping Our Stash, their weekly challenge is called Thrice As Nice in which you have to use three patterned papers on one card. And when I'm using patterned papers, the Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge Blog comes to mind, so I entered it over there as well.  Their optional theme is red. I love working with red, but I honestly don't have any red patterned papers (except dots and gingham). Thanks to their challenge I'm putting those on a list and the next time I buy paper I'm going to keep an eye out for some reds. Lastly, I'm entering it over at the Word Power Challenge Blog where a word must be the highlight of your card.

This card was made using supplies that I had on hand. The paper at the top of the card and the middle of the card is unknown. I only had a few scraps of that and the brand had already been cut off. They are the reversed of each other.  The green patterned dots, green card stock and pink letters are made from Stampin' Up! papers. The die cut "Hello" is from  Pink & Main. The green die cut is made from Sizzix.

There's no stamping on this card, and I was going to put a word like "friend" below the Hello but truthfully I find it easier to send a card that just says Hello. 

Both design teams did an amazing job and it's worth it to head over just for some inspiration. And if you'd like to join in the fun there's plenty of time left to play along!
