Just Enough!

  Morning and I made a card for a sketch I liked the look of on Try a Sketch on Tuesday-I found a piece of p, paper in oddments that was only just big enough to get the three squares and strip out of  at a push so no idea what whose it was sorry! The stamped sentiment and stamped circle are from a Pickled Pear set that was gifted to me by a FB friend. The square dies are from The Works and the circle die from My Favourite Things. It looked a little stark so I doodled round all the edges with a fine liner pen. Please excuse the embossed line on last square -otherwise wouldn't have had enough and TBH not noticeable IRL-trust me lol.




PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER

How lucky was that! I usually find that the scrap I want to use isn't quite big enough! Your lovely feminine card is a great way to use up those pretty floral papers.

The way you've used the Pickled Pear stamp set and the doodled edges adds such a unique touch to the card. It's impressive how you made the most out of your scraps and turned them into a beautiful design.
