PTI princess challenge: make your own background paper.

It's finally my turn to host our PTI princess challenge!

My challenge to you is to create your own patterned paper.  Bonus points for creating more than one, and extra bonus points for using them on a project :)

I couldn't find a patterned paper that:
1.  I could get my hands on fast enough
2.  Only had pinks in it

So, in 1 afternoon, I created these (so sorry for the poor picture quality - I sweated over this one!):

and here are close-ups of some of my favorites:

For all of them, I used the same principles:
1.  start with the larger images
2.  add medium and then smaller images to fill in the gaps
3.  add a layer of a background stamp over-top to tie everything together.

ETA: I used PTI white, SU pretty in pink, and melon mambo papers.  The inks I used are all SU: blush blossom, pink pirouette, pretty in pink, melon mambo, and versamark.

I'm also linking this post back to this week's MIM challenge.  I used Nichole's MIM #39 tutorial for my papers.

Tomorrow, I'll show you what I used them all for!
