If you're like me then you'll have a small stash of off cuts and scraps of pretty papers amongst your craft stuff...
here is a simple way to use them.
Gather papers that compliment (or that appeals to your current mood) - i used 3 colours, dusty blue and pink and neutral vintage text papers too but you can use as many colours as you like.
Cut all your scraps into small neat one inch squares.
Grab some white cardstock or a prescored card, glue your squares to form a parallel lines - you can measure to make sure its all uniform and even - that was my intention but it sort of got in the way of being fun so I just went with the flow and trusted my eye haha - they are a little wonky but still look turned out okay. I made tags, a card and flatnotes....
Last week I was a guest blogger over at Marilyn's cool blog, Pulpsushi.
i did a tutorial blog post - Easy Peasy Paper flowers - have a look if you like! Thanks Marilyn...(hugs)
Simple but lovely idea, thanks for sharing it! I like how the newspaper/book paper compliments the colored ones. I wouldn't have come up with an idea like this one, and that is why I like it!
