Like most crafters I am reluctant to throw any scraps away and consequently I have a growing mountain. For this card I used some of those scraps cutting them into diamond shapes and combining these to make wrapped parcels. (Each parcel is glued onto a scrap of card). Using trimmings from my scrap mountain I cut these to form the parcel ties. The background paper was printed using My Craft Studio's volume 9 CD ROM from the Papercraft Library collection and is matted onto mirri and white card. I added a fussy cut dog and name tags, cut from scraps of course, to complete the design.

ReplyDeleteWow crafty - you have used so many scraps on this card. What a beautiful scene you have created.
ReplyDeleteScrap mountain! I love your description Mary, and I think it's something most of us can relate to. You've done a brilliant job with this card... what a great idea to personalise it with little tags. I love it!
