Nicole has asked me to share some ideas on how to "start" a card design. Today I am going to chat about adding texture to your card! I used a burlap sheet and die cut it with a Spellbinder die. I was excited to use the new Dia De Los Muertos and the Baby Love sets.

My card is a more feminine take...I used some burlap, a die cut, pearls and some pattern papers to create a fun and feminine vibe. Simple and sweet, this card took almost no time to put together!! I dug out my burlap paper and some pattern paper from my paper "stash" and was inspired to play along with the Use What You Have Challenge!!
Here is a photo of just "some" of my paper stash...yes, I LOVE paper...LOL!
