My Balloon

So these paper scraps were sitting on my desk after I made the "rosie" card, I was about to tidy up when I realised there was enough of each sheet left to make a quick and simple card. This entire card was made with snippets, its been so long since I was able to say that I almost forgot what it was like to use up every scrap of something, well it feels very satisfying if you must know lol.

Dandelion Wishes

This is one of the free stamps from my MFT workshop, as soon as I saw her I wanted to paper piece her dress.

I used some cosmo cricket papers from jessica sprague, she stopped stocking them a while ago but am so glad I managed to get them, irl they look like stitching.

I was going to use my airbrush for the background but my desk was such a mess that if I had stopped to clear a space I would never have gotten the card made in time for the birthday lol. I used the two smallest cloud dies and it came out better than I expected.

If you look closely you will also see a flower, not my normal thing but I can see me using it again, next time though I will use cardstock as I think it folds better and holds shape better than paper.
