Materials Swap - My Materials

This is probably one of my favorite swaps - a materials kit swap.  The idea is that you make two kits - one for yourself & one for your swap partner.  You make a card from your kit & your partner makes one from the same kit.  It's fun to compare the two cards and see what different things folks do with the same materials. This is the card I made:


I had lots of smaller pieces of patterned paper, as well as a larger piece (old HOTP patterns).  As you can see here, I used the dark blue/gray for the background, and added other patterns on top for mats and borders before adding some of the die cut pieces (Hunkydory Pop-a-Topper Fabulous Florals) and a silver frame border.  Oh yes, I also added some sticker border pieces & a ribbon bow.

Inside I used more scraps for borders - and another sticker.  The last die cut was double matted before being added to the lower corner.

 Here's what my swap partner, Lee, made with the same materials:
