What I like about crafting

Just sharing a quick, simple card today that really fits into my way of crafting and my character. Actually I love making something from combined elements that are nothing on their own.


For example - the background of this card is the the cover of a paper-pack from K&Co, which one usually doesn't use. The paper I stamped the bird on is a scrap paper, as is the butterfly and flower. Fitting them together makes a card, but on their own they are just loose elements. I think it satisfies something in me to do this.

The Bird is from Artistic Outpost which can be found here.

  18. I love to use scraps and package wrappings too. Somehow it gives one a good feeling to be repurposing materials. This turned out so beautiful, Jacqueline.
