Using Patterned Paper to Build a Scene - Altenew Comfy Couch

I warned you that there'd be more cute furniture cards. Today, I wanted to share some ideas for using patterned paper to build fun scene cards.  This super couch from Altenew required a fun scene, so I built two options.  


For the green couch, I pulled some vintage-looking patterned paper with small print from my stash for the wallpaper and had a 6x6 sheet of small bricks that I cut into enough strips to get four cards. 

I used Copics to color my couch in a shade of green to match the carpet, with some blue-violet accent pillows and lamp.  Once colored I fussy cut the couch and lamp for the scene.  

Time to build the scene.  I ink-blended Distress Oxide in Ice Spruce across the bottom of a white panel.  I used a texture stamp with Stormy Sky and Pumice Stone Distress Ink to create a carpet effect.  I cut the patterned paper I chose for the wallpaper in half for two cards and added it to the top of the card.  Then I added the strip of bricks to my card.  To create a more finished scene I added a 1/4-inch strip of paper for a baseboard.  

With my room complete, it was time to furnish it with my cute couch and lamp.


For the warm grey couch cards, I found a small striped floral print to use as the wallpaper and a couple more strips of the little brick paper.  For the floor of these, I built a wood floor using Distress Inks in Brushed Corduroy and Vintage Photo, stamping the texture in Walnut Stain.  

Building the scene was a rinse and repeat of the first one, with a color palette change and some wall art.  I colored my couch with warm greys and accented it with some pale red-violet pillows to match the wallpaper.  I skipped the lamp and used a Tim Holtz Vintage Lable to frame my sentiment for the wall.
