Using up my stash - I have such a lot of beautiful paper, and tons of little elements cut and ready in 'The Useful Box", so I have enjoyed using limited crafting time to put ready made pieces onto crafted backgrounds, even the sentiment was cut and ready!
I used 1"squares of DSP pieces in Melon Mambo, Fresh Freesia and Berry Burst to create a little patchwork background and then ran it all through an embossing folder to give it that 'quilted' look. This is an old technique which I have used a lot and it always works so well.
Because the colours were so bold I simply added white flowers for my focal point, and sponged a touch of both greens onto the leaves.
Simple, and done! I do love a square card.
Isn't this photo just gorgeous.
