Over the next week I will be posting a series which I have called Sketches for using scraps. I have thought hard about how to present this series as there are quite a few card ideas in it, but Nathan convinced me that doing it this way was best – we will see. The top card is the ” experimental” card, and for all those in the series I used just two sheets of 12 x 12 paper , 9 cards in all, which is great value when watching your purse! The 2 sheets are from Stampin Up designer series – Everyday Enchantment, and I love this paper. The second card is a copy of the basic design of the first sketch card and for these cards I used 4 sheets of American Crafts Neapolitan collection. I still have a lot of this paper left and will make more with it at a later stage. It too is great paper, the handy hint for all the sketches I have done is make sure you purchase a stripe pattern, floral pattern, and a quite plain pattern. With the stampin up paper I found all these just on two sheets, and I have also done some of these cards as a lesson and managed to do the same with some Kaisercraft paper so it easy to do, and total value for money! The litttle flower on the top card was punched out of old book pages  with a punch and a little perfect pearls in the centre. for the second card I added two brads and the cardstock used for the card base was Stampin Up certainly Celery.Til tomorrow…..
