Sending Smiles

Welcome

I created today's card by using scraps I had in my stash.

The papers were leftover pieces I had made while Gel Plate printing.  

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I looked through my stash of scraps and found some pieces leftover when I cut down larger pieces of gel prints.  I found 2 that I thought would look good together.
• Next, I die cut the Plaid Card Front from some white cardstock.  
• I measured the size of the openings in the plaid, then cut my scraps into strips the right size.
• I wove the strips through the die cut, overlapping them until all the openings were filled.
• I glued that onto a piece of white cardstock and set aside.
• I found another piece of cardstock that I had inked up with some Distress Oxide inks in my stash and die cut the sentiment using that and then cut out the sentiment shadow from some white.
• I glued the woven panel onto a piece of purple cs then onto a heavy white A2 size card base.
• I pop dotted the sentiment over the center of the panel.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
