Strips, Strips, stitching, it's all about the texture.

I have recently made an accordion album as a farewell gift and had lots of scraps left over- perfect for both the Just Add Ink#559 and the GDP#296 challenges this week. I don't like throwing away beautiful paper and this is a perfect way to utilise and show off all those gorgeous patterns. I  adhere all the strips to a base piece of scrap card then trim it to size and for added depth run it through an embossing folder which helps to keep the small pieces bonded to the base, and makes it feel like it is supposed to be a single element.

The Stitched Greenery die is a new toy and I love it.  The sentiment was from my useful box on the desk and the vellum element is from a retired kit, it adds just the right amount of subtleness as a background and makes me feel good for using up leftovers. Do you get the same sense of satisfaction when that happens?

Love the silver accent on the vellum and the amazing detail in the stitched leaves. Definitely a quick and easy card (my favourite)

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,

 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz
