There's so much to love about this month's inspiration photo! The stunning and vibrant colors of the wool dying process is full of interpretations that can be applied to your next paper crafting project! Experiment with creating backgrounds, perhaps dying or watercoloring die-cuts or your own fibers, dots/circles and stripes, an ombre color palette, layers of twine and more. Be creative and see where your imagination can take you!
-Participating bloggers can add their link to the appropriate list here anytime between 10am EST and 11:30pm EST on August 25th within the InLinkz list below. The title of your post should be "Papertrey August Blog Hop Challenge".

EDITED TO ADD RANDOMLY SELECTED WINNERS:
Crafty Fun Stuff made a jewel-toned color blocked card as her interpretation of the inspiration photo. The way she added the sentiment at an angle helps to add a lot of visual interest!
Sanketi used her watercoloring skills to transform her card front into a dreamy autumn scene. I'm loving all of the splatters and shadows that make this look so realistic!
Lynn Put created this fantastic book themed card. All those fantastic jewel tones make it feel like it's perfectly suited for a vintage library shelf. I just love all of the little details she incorporated here!
Congratulations to all three winners! Please contact customer service and provide them with your full name and the email address you would like your gift certificate sent to! Thank you to everyone who played along!
Thank you for a wonderful and colorful challenge! Hugs, Darnell
Everyone did beautiful cards!
These are some of the most varied and creative cards ever made for a blog hop. Kudos to everyone!
I must get some Dot Spot Stamps and copy #48 by Elizabeth Jane – it is a very eye catching card using great stamps and colors. WOW
So excited to see I won! Thank you so much !
