DCM It's a Patchy One!

The challenge this week over at DCM is to make a card with a patchwork theme! A good chance to use up scraps or off cuts........................or, the content sheet from the front of your Basic Grey 12 x 12 collection pack!!
If you've been to see me before, you will know that i am a Basic Grey addict! I make no excuses.......i'm happy playing with whatever they have to offer me, so much so that i can't even bear to throw away the sheet that comes in the front of the collection packs showing you what's inside!
My card today has been made with some of the squares from the sheet in the 'Porcelain' pack, the most recent of my purchases(more being delivered tomorrow..hopefully!)
I've also added part of the Rose from the adhesive element sheet that also comes in the pack. The circle was cut with Nesties and then chalked with Colorbox cat's eyes to tone in with the colours, some faux stitching added with a HOTP acrylic stamp and Chestnut Roan chalk.

I couldn't bear to see all those lovely bits in the bin..............could you?
Thanks for popping in today........see you soon ;-D

Hugs

    Hi Carol

    What a brilliant idea, I have nearly as much packaging as I have product for the very same reason.

    I can't bear to throw them away either, but never get around to using them for anything - we all have soooooo much in common...LOL


    Your card is gorgeous and inspirational - thanks for sharing
