Hello there! Friday the 25th is the deadline for entries to be eligible for some FANTASTIC prizes!!
If you have been around for a little while, you have seen me create these backgrounds with scraps. It is so satisfying to see it come to life! This particular combination made four backgrounds. This one that's diagonal, two that are horizontal and one that was a combo of some of the pieces! Stay tuned for those to make an appearance!
Patterned paper, red cardstock, green cardstock and cream/yellow cardstock cut into 1/2" strips. Normally I use a piece of copy paper to reduce bulk, but this time I used cardstock, then glued the strips down in rows. I left a tiny bit of white between the strips, but have done them without a space. Once all are stuck down, cut 1/2" strips across the grain. Once the strips are cut I then stick them to another piece of cardstock/copy paper to create the background. This one in particular I arranged them diagonally, then die cut the entire piece with the largest scallops and rectangle nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co.
I then took a sentiment (previously stamped and not used) and cut slits into the ends for the ribbon to thread through. Ribbon from stash, sentiment from Painted Poinsettias. I followed {BYSHC} Sketch 50 for this one!
