This is the latest installment of my attempt to use up this paper pack; it just keeps multiplying!! This first card used up a TON of little strips of paper!! I pieced each layer together (but I'll let you in on a secret: I didn't put strips on the portions that are covered by other layers) using different narrow strips of the paper. It creates a lot of color and interest and is kind of fun. I added a bit of ribbon and a single pearl to the body of the butterfly.
The second card also uses a herringbone piecing technique, but I was able to use more of the larger pieces.
I think this third card is my favorite. I just love that yellow rose paper; it has a bit of gold foiling in the pattern. It is so gorgeous!!
And the final card used a bunch of circles. I had several squares that were just the right size for my circle die and voila!
That's it for now, but there will be more, probably several more--those scraps just keep coming.

Fabulous collection of cards Heather. I particularly like your snippets entry - the touches of gold are lovely - always lifts a card IMHO. Wry smile here about you trying to get rid of a paper pack - sounds as if the ;craft elves' sneak in and add some more during the night to me!
