I've mentioned before that I don't normally use much patterned paper. Well, if you could see my desk right now you would know why! I like to try each pattern and combination to see what looks the best. And, I really can't see it unless each piece is cut to size. I think I tried every sheet in this pack of dsp. Then I needed to die cut butterflies and banners in every color to see which combination looked best. For clean & simple stamping, it's not very clean or simple ;)
Maybe now I should go upstairs and try to make another card with all of those scraps.
Thanks to Retro Sketches for the inspiration!
