Happy Day Everyone!!
I'm at my sister's today for my monthly pampering (hair cut/color and a pedicure) but just had to share a card with you that I created yesterday.
As you all know I had a few FABULOUSLY FUN days with some crafting friends and while we were together they asked about the cards I made the other day using the border dies with scrap designer paper behind ... see THESE CARDS.

Months ago I was creating some tissue box covers and always end up with a scrap piece 12x12x3.
Here's the tissue box cover I made . . .
Of course, I have those scrap strips laying on the side of my big work table JUST IN CASE I would need one for another project. Sandy and I looked through the Heartfelt Creations border dies she had brought along with her to see if one of those would work for this technique and die cut a white panel for an A6 card and came up with this card.
Now just in case you haven't figured it out by now, I used that scrap of EASTER designer paper behind the die cut panel for my card. As most crafters know, we don't WASTE ANYTHING and I decided to use the rest of that scrap panel for the Tutti Designs sentiment.
A few coordinating Nuvo drops and VIOLA!!
Who would have thought . . . lol!
I've been working on trying to 'think outside the box' a little more lately so I'm pretty happy with how this card turned out!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
I appreciate it more than you'll ever know!!
As always . . .
I usually use papers that are a little too busy for my taste for things like this :) Makes for a pretty card!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm talkin' about! You'd never know that was bright Easter eggs hiding behind that pretty panel! It works beautifully for the sentiment, too. That's why I never throw an ugly handmade background away. Wonderful, Darlene!
