I just LOVE this card that I CASED from Anne Laflamme @ http://www.carteatout.blogspot.com/. My version was designed entirely from scraps in my scrap box. You can’t see some of the detail well because, again, this was a scan and not an actual photo. The Pretty in Pink foreground paper is textured and the gift bags are raised at a bit of an angle so the top is raised a little more than the bottom. I did this by layering the bags over one another and placing only 2 dimensionals on the bottom corners of each bag. With the tissue behind it, the effect was perfect! This was one of the cards I used in my class Making Great Cards From Scraps! I love it when I make a great card from scraps. Think about it: Scraps are something you might have thrown away! What a great way to recycle!
HELPFUL TIP: To make good use of your scraps, simply choose a stamp set you would like to use. Then sift through your scraps and pull out small pieces that look good together. Think about one large image on your card and using the smaller pieces for dimension and interest, or utilize your designer paper for background and interest. Combining smooth and textured paper also creates interest in your card. You choose the stamp and let the card create itself. Enjoy!
