Hello, Scrap Pieces

Hello and welcome to my blog, today I would like to share with you a card I've made using up those pesky scrap pieces we all have laying around.
Please see all instructions and products used below.

• I started with a white 8x8 card blank, I matted and layered a piece of purple and grey card stock to the base.
• With the grey card stock I ran my chisel tip glue pen around the edge and added some holographic glitter.
• For the background, I have taken my leftover scrap pieces of paper/card stock from other projects and cut them into one inch strips. I've used glitter, patterned papers, mirror card and plain card stock, all in a complementary colour scheme
• I proceeded to stick these down with wet glue onto a white 7x7 backgroud leaving a small gap (or edge) in between each one - (I have used a random pattern but you could do this diagonally, horizontally, vertically or any other way in which you choose) I then glued this piece to the card
• For the sentiment I have taken a white piece of card and cut out a fancy circle shape with a die, then used a plain circle die to cut a piece from purple card stock.
• I have cut out the Hello die three times in white card and once in the same grey card as the mat layer and stacked them together slightly off-setting them to add dimension.
• I've then added a bow with purple ribbon, a silk purple flower to cover the knot and added a few adhesive gems to the corners.

Products used:
• The plain, glittered and mirror cardstock is from Hunkydory
• The pattern papers are from Papermania Lucy Cromwell addition
• The circle dies were unbranded from Amazon UK
• The hello die was a freebie from a papercraft magazine.
• The ribbon, flowers and gems were all unbranded from Amazon UK
