I had no one in mind for this one so I thought I would make it a card just to say Hi when the time arises.
To make the background I applied some of my sparkle pens to my non stick craft sheet, added a little water and using a paint brush splattered the background, you can't see it in the pictures but it added a touch of sparkle. The sentiment sticker is originally silver but I colored it with my markers so it went along with the colors in the paper better.
I really don't know what I think about this card, do you ever make something and just not sure what you think?
BasicGrey - Picadilly paper
Spectrum Sparkle pens - Sage and Biscuit for background
Hot off the press dazzles - 130 tiny words and phrases, colored w/marker
Thanks for stopping by,
Connie

Connie, I like your basket weave card (that's what I'm calling it)! The colors look so summery and fun.
Connie, I really can see why you saved the scraps of paper. It is a really pretty one! I like the card. I usually know if I like a card or not by the time I photograph it, but I know what you mean.
Not a bad idea to use the strips like this, really effective..great card.x
Oh, not knowing whether I like something I have created is something I am very familiar with. =) I think all these papers are very pretty. You have imagined another fabulous card. I love how you create something different and beautiful each time.
A pretty card to say "Hi" to someone and it will surely make that person smile!
i like it connie...it is unique and the papers go together beautifully!! i like how you created the background paper!!!
Fantastic Connie ... what a fun design! Great job!
I simply love the design, dear Connie! All of your cards are a work of art :)
Wishing you a wonderful August. Hugs to you!
I love this card . . . the perfect card for someone who loves quilting :) I like what you said on the comment that you left on my blog too : God gave us the love of gardening so that we could still play in the dirt as adults . . . You are so right!
Happy Summer, sweet friend.
Connie :)
Beautiful card,Connie!Hugs!
Fabulous way to use up snippets we all have in our stash! Really pretty design.
Pretty Papers! Love the weaving! Anyone would love to see this beauty show up in their mailbox!
My first thought when I saw this card was how pretty it is. Love the papers. You've combined the colors beautifully and what a great way to use scraps. I make cards all the time that I'm on the fence about. Then there are those that I think are downright hideous and they go to the round file. This one deserves to be mailed.
I think this is a nice design, the colours all go well together.
All the best Jan
