Hello

I belong to a NZ Card Swap Group.  Each month we have a different challenge.   With our card for the June challenge we had to include some "bits" from our "maybe I'll get around to using this someday" box.  This is what I received to work with:


For the July challenge, we had to use at least 3 of those bits on the front of our card.  After much thinking about it and running some ideas past another member of the group, I came up with this:



And with the tag, pulled out:



As you can see from the top photo, I had quite large bits to work with.  I added some background paper to co-ordinate with the circular piece  I also added a pocket on the front of the card to give me a bit more space to add the third element.  I stencilled one of the pieces using a Tim Holtz stencil and some glimmer paste.  I added this over the pocket and then trimmed off the excess.  The circle fitted perfectly on top of that piece.  I then punched a hole in the oval piece, added an eyelet, twine and a sentiment.

I still have three pieces left over so may come up with something using them at some point.

I would like to enter:
