I always like to keep a large assortment of Birthday cards on hand. I was watching a video about using scrap for backgrounds. You take pieces that are at least 2 inches wide and cut them diagonally to form long triangles. I like how this worked out, and i will be making more.
My Flower Shop stamps and punch, from SU! was also being neglected so I added them to the mix. The flowers were stamped in Rich Razzleberry and Wisteria Wonder. My Happy Birthday die was a gift, so I am clueless.The only other thing was adding centers to my flowers with some Nuvo Crystal drops.
I would like to enter this at Fab & Funky Challenges #448, which is the Colour Purple.
This would also be great for the challenge at Pixie's Crafty Workshop #356, which is using all of our Snippets.
It is so funny to see some of the paper scraps I have hoarded! It actually ages me! LOL.....
Have a wonderful Hump Day, and I hope to see you again soon!
