Papermill Papermaking Perfection in Purple

Hello, again!  Today is my last post for the Earth Day hop showcasing handmade paper created with the Arnold Grummer Papermill Complete Papermaking Kit.  Today's paper is purple with bits of Shaved Ice, Crystal Micro Glitter and Royal Purple Crushed Glass Glitter.  This was made with mostly white paper and just a little bits and pieces of purple scrap papers.  I also added a few flower petals from violets my granddaughter picked in the yard.  This paper was probably my favorite, I saved the best for last!

Here's what I used to create this card:

This has been such a fun hop!  I've really enjoyed making my own paper and will continue to do this periodically just because I can!  Thanks for checking out my projects and I'll see you again soon!  Have a great weekend.

Pretty Pink Paper

Hi there!  I'm back with another post showcasing handmade paper created with the Arnold Grummer Papermill Complete Papermaking Kit.  Today's paper is a baby pink with bits of Shaved Ice and Crystal Micro Glitter.  I actually made this with mostly white paper and just a little bit of pink scrap papers.  The picture does not do it justice!  It's much prettier and pinker in real life!

I Made Paper!

I made paper, and I liked it!  This was seriously fun to do and so easy, you wouldn't believe it!  It's a great way to use your scraps, too.  I made this green paper and didn't use any green to make it.  I used scraps of yellow, turquoise and white and it became this lovely shade of green.  I added in some glitters and ended up with a gorgeous paper that I love.

Here are a couple of close-ups of the paper.  Isn't it pretty!?
