SISTER STASH - All occasion card featuring coordinating papers in pink, black, pink and orange and three little square floral elements


 For this card I used the same papers as I did on my last card.  I started with a large deep red card and then I paper pieced the background from the scraps I had on hand.  I added a strip of black cardstock across the card just above the middle.  Next, I created my three little floral elements.  I started with three little squares of light pink and added three different squares of decorative paper from which I had punched a flower.  After gluing them in place I added red centers to finish them off.  I auditioned on my card front and they needed a bit of contrast from the background so I used a black marker to distress the outside edges.  That was better.  I adhered them diagonally over the black strip. Done!!  I added the three little flowers to the insert inside my card.  I always add bond paper inserts to my cards so they can be reused.   Therese
