So Happy Birthday LIM!
I took the opportunity to use up some pieces of kraft left over from Christmas which were in the 'odds and sods' pack.
Just cut them into four equal sized squares, stamped a variety of backgrounds in Versafine Sepia, distressed the edges a bit, inked them with Tea Dye DI and matted onto some small pieces of brown card.
The flower stem is a Memory Box die I cut out two, one in brown card and one in kraft. Used the brown one as the focal point and cut odd bits off the kraft one!
Two pearls glued into the flower centres.
Wrapped a bit of string round the bottom square and put the flower stem through it.
Finished with a 'thanks' sentiment.
For a change, I am reasonably happy with this one!
And - as it uses up my scraps am off to the playground to join in Pixie's Crafty Snippets this week again too!

Terrific card Viv, made all the better because you used scraps which work brilliantly. Love the die cut flowers too, so pretty.
Viv this is just gorgeous. Love how you have used the squares in the background.

very pretty, love the use of squares of scrap. Its always nice to use the left overs (bit like collage boxes when the kids were small, you never know what you might find or how it might get used!).
Love the design - a gorgeous card. Lynn x
