When I play with a new technique or idea, I end up with LOTS of trial and error pieces. Some I like, some… not so much. But, I can’t throw them out (unless of course they really are hideous and I couldn’t handle someone seeing such awful art) so I save them, and save them, and save them… well, you get the picture.

Below is just a FEW of the beautiful pieces that resulted from my Lindy’s Stamp Gang, Starburst Sprays session. I absolutely adore the colors and the sparkle, obviously.

After goofing around with different shapes and layouts, these are the cards I ended up with. They were all incredibly easy and used very few supplies.

So now, it’s time to use all of those practice background pieces that accumulate while trying out new products. In the video, I demonstrate just a few easy ways to make beautiful cards out of leftovers.
