I had a young friend/cardmaker over today for a play date!! I made a couple of cards and she managed one and brought home the pieces she had picked out for her second one because we decided to spend some time at the park instead. I love the way kids are so free to just do art!!
In the process of cleaning a shelf in my craft room I came across several pieces of serendipity collage so I trimmed them down into 1.25" squares to use as the focal points on our cards today. I cut out some coordinating squares for layering, put out some images and greetings and a few items for embellishing like the border punched accents on this card - like a little smorg for creativity.
This is a quick and easy card. I layered the serendipity elements on coordinating squares and framed them off with some bordered punched paper lace. I layered a strip of coordinating card stock below the paper lace to "colour" the flowers and used a glitter gel pen to highlight the center of the flowers and the doily border.
So I encourage you plan a play date with a young card maker and have some fun!!
