Came into the craft room armed with the hoover as there's bits of paper all over the floor... got in here and promptly just sat down at the desk abondoning the cleaner in the doorway!
Whilst making the card here last week, I abandoned a piece that I had started work on as the trellis edge had 'buckled' a bit in the middle.
This morning I 'rescued' this piece and set to using up the leftovers from the sheet of textured card and making use of the trellis edge, which I have decided isn't REALLY that bad.
When using up odd bits of card I always opt to use this honeyblossom die! Don't know why, - it's not that I don't have others!!
Embossed the background and after securing the oval frame onto another small piece of card lightly sponged some Spun Sugar DI. Cut out both frame and an aperture, stuck the oval centre flat onto the embossed background and then raised the frame on 3d foam pads.
Tucked in the flower die after sponging with the same ink, die cut a butterfly and added a few tiny pink gems.
No sentiment as yet as I am intending to use this card for myself rather than put in the 'Pink' box so sentiment will be added when I use it - think though that it will be useful for a few things, Get Well, Birthday, Sympathy so a useful addition to my own card stash!

Hi Viv
So pleased to hear I am not the only one with bits of paper all over their craft room floor!
Those little die cut bits get everywhere don't they.
I often find them stuck to the bottom of my feet, in the bed, or floating in the bath LOL!!!
Great card and I love that Nestie! That is still on my ever increasing list of things I would like.
I hope you had a good Christmas and wish you and your family all the best for 2014.
Love Jules xx

Beautiful card Viv, Oh if only I would get round to using my left overs :o~ I am sure they would make 5doz cards. They end up getting damaged then have to go in the bin :o(
A beautiful card, and like you say useful for lots of occasions.
