More Scraps

I'm still working on that pile of scraps!  Today's Splitcoast CAS challenge is to use patterned or designer paper in a clean and simple card.  So out came my scraps again and my 1" circle punch.  The paper I chose is called Flock Together and is on page 162 the current Idea Book & Catalog. 

The finished card measures 4.75" x 4.75" and the vanilla panel measures 4.5" x 4.5".  To line up the circles, I found the center of the vanilla panel by drawing lines from corner to corner.  I placed the turquoise circle in the center and eyeballed it from there. 

This would be a great layout to using up both card stock and patterned paper scraps.  You could use a larger circle punch and make the overall card bigger - it has lots of possibilities.

I love these colors together, they look so fresh!  I'll be posting a few more cards using this combo in the coming days.

Thanks for visiting,
