Go-to Gal Designer Challenge: Echo Park

For my Lil' Inker Designs post, scroll down or click eHERE!!
Hello!  It's the last Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for a Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking magazine Go-to Gal Designer Challenge.  It's also our first one with Laina!  Welcome Laina! 
This month, we've chosen to work with products from Echo Park!  Eek, I love pattern paper so this was fun for me.  

Everything I worked with is from their new Splendid Sunshine 12x12 kit and 6x6 pad.

For my first card, I trimmed out a journaling card from a 12x12 piece of paper and rounded the edges of all 4 corners with my 1/8" corner chomper.  Then, I backed it with a striped patterned paper.  To embellish the journaling card I die cut a heart, also from some patterned paper and added it to my journaling card.  

I'm a kraft-paper-aholic.  I love kraft and I can tell you certains krafts work better for certain colors.  I love the Neenah Desert Storm kraft for pretty pastel colors and wow didn't the Avery Elle white pigment ink stamp great on it! :)  Perfect compliments for pretty patterned papers! 

Next, I wanted to really have some fun layering! 

I pulled out a bunch of my favorite dies and then went to town cutting a bunch of patterned papers.  With a bunch of pieces ready to go, I simply started layering!

I just love the colors of this pretty Echo Park collection!  
Now it's off to see what the other Go-to Gals have cooked up with Echo Park papers...
