Today’s card is a use up the scraps on the desk card … just because that’s what needed to happen and it’s pretty much all I had time for to create this! Plus I have a thing about adding strips of patterned paper to cards at the moment!
The strips were cut ages ago for a different festive Friday project and just sat there … so I put them together to show stripes of each side of the paper and then cut a panel that would work on a card front… with an angled finish. To be honest if I had thought it through I would have adhered them the other side up so the angle was the other way as that works better in my eyes but sometimes that’s not how it goes!
I then created a little focal topper from a stamped image and then added the little snowflakes and unfortunately when I created the mat from the red I got a spot of red on the topper so decided to go for a blended ink finish.
It’s not perfect but it’s still cute!
I added some die cuts from the stash underneath to create a cluster look to the focal point and then an embossed sentiment to finish off.
I say finish off but I then decided to add glossy accents to the centre of the snowflakes … not sure it adds much but some days you just end up doing these things.
So my project is done. I feel good for making use of the scraps but I won’t lie it’s not my favourite card I’ve ever made. Sometimes it just goes that way and I’ve learnt the point of me crafting is sometimes just the doing not the final product! And I still think it’s ok… just not one of my favourites!
Happy crafting!
