Happy Spring

Hello crafters!  I love making this kind of card as it gives me a chance to use up some of my scrap pieces of card!  I selected four pastel colours from my scrap pile and cut them into one inch strips.  I aligned them across a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet adhered to it.  I used aqua, custard, lilac and pale pink.  I repeated several of them as I went across.  Next, I cut two consecutive sizes of the Looped Rectangles in white and layered them up together.  I added them to the middle of the background with mounting foam.  I cut the Happy Spring sentiment out of all four colours used in the background and glued them to the middle of the top looped rectangle die.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.   The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x 8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Hi Sue.
    If you're anything like me and 100's more 'crafties' scrap card is accumulated by the bags full or anything other storage we can fill, I'll share a few bags if you wish lol.
    Very pretty, delicate springtime colours, perfect for many occasions.
    Hope you're well.
    Be kind.
