Using Scraps to Wrap a Card

This card was made using an odd-shaped piece of paper I had left over from another project.  I used it to wrap around this gate-fold card to add some color.  Then I cut and embossed several layers of white & purple/pink cardstock with my Big Shot machine and Spellbinder's Dies (Labels One).  I stamped flowers onto the top white piece using black ink and a stamp from "Sweet Blossoms & Swirls" acrylic stamp set from Hot Off the Press.  Next I colored them with sparkly gel pens and then glued Flower Soft to the flowers & leaves for some texture (I used Christmas Green, Peony Pink, and Lavendar).  I wrote in the sentiment with pen and then, as I often do, I drew around the embossed lines with contrasting colors.
