A Revamp

I have to admit I am so delighted with the outcome of this card, although not too much creativity was involved! I had this paper pad from K&Co for ages, I mean literally ages. Initially I felt it was "too good to use". Now, after so many years, it's a bit out of date to use! Lol. However, using up old paper from my ever growing stash is as big and ongoing task as organizing space in my craft world :-)


I looked at the paper really really hard as it's the right time of the year to use the theme and decided it was time for action. It's either now or never (at least for another year! :-) So out came the chopper... I cut them up, rejigged some of the stems height's, overlayed them and added a touch of glitter. And there you go, not bad eh?


I added a green velum envelope from Craftwork Cards which dates as far back as the paper pad. Together I think they are very spring like yet soft and gentle. I know some of you like me still have this paper somewhere, I hope my card could give you a little idea of what to do with them. They are like shoes and clothes, make the most of them by using them.


Have a lovely Easter everyone!
