I did this card to meet a challenge posted by greetingsbydebra on the forums. She suggested we try to make 5 cards using only scraps - what a great idea!! I've got tons of scrap!
Here is one of my favorite ways to use up scraps - especially the long strips I have left over from scrapbooking (you know what I"m talking about). I got the idea from http://mamadinis.blogspot.com/2006/1...-tutorial.html
(she has a great tutorial).
I usually cut the scrap layer a bit smaller than my card base so the main color will show through but I forgot tonight (a little late to be making cards perhaps??!!).
The stamp comes from Michael's 1.50 bin (yes, Canadian).

Wow ... what a great idea & a great card ... I'm going to have to try this. Great choices of paper ... I love how the right angle ribbon and stamp offset the diagonals of the paper ... pretty!

This would make a great tutorial. I love it. I'll have to try this on my own. Another great way to use those scraps is with color blocking. I've made many cards with different colors on a black background with the black showing in between; they are always colorful.
