In the Free 4 All challenge today, Jeanne is asking us to use scraps on our card. I've used bits of scrap both on the doily lace punched accent and the sentiment panel, where I layered 3 strips of small paper underneath the wording for a dash of color. My design is based on this week's Viva La Verve sketch.
