Over the weekend, I delved into one of my boxes of scraps (the large one full of long, thin strips of patterned paper) to make a sweet and simple card. The combination of colours that I chose reminded me instantly of autumn - although I could, of course, have been thinking about it subconsciously when I chose the colours. Who knows?
To decorate my card, I've used some of the teeny, tiny leaves and flowers from Lawn Fawn's Flutterby set; finishing off with a cute sentiment (which is part of the main sentiment from the same set.) Quite simple really.
I'm thinking that I might just sit down and make a whole batch of cards, all with little strips, stitching and some stamping. It could be the perfect way to whittle down my box of scraps, while wasting away a happy, little autumn afternoon.
I love the colours! very autumnal! I've had my sewing machine out too, thanks to your inspirational posts x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea. I ought to do the same as I have no cards ready for anything and lots of scraps.
ReplyDeleteI love using up scraps and having a simple design. These are often the best. I love your idea, enjoy your autumn afternoons making cards :)
ReplyDeleteLove this. Autumn is my FAVE time of the year so this appeals to me all the more.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good plan :) Especially when what you create is so darn gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely card. Autumnal colors are not my favorite - but those muted tones could help convert me.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea, I might look out some scraps!
