I did a bit of a challenge for myself where I pulled out scraps of printed paper, tags and dies to put together for a collage style card. This was totally FUN and unexpected!!
What I love most about a card like this is the mix of textures between the Glimmer White cardstock, the Tim Holtz Woodlands Tree set on Linen to the shiny Mirrored Stars.
I filmed a video of how this card came together, you can view it below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

Fabulous collage card! I love going back to my scrap bucket and to challenge myself to revisit what didn’t work before.
I’m not a big fan of the collage style, but I really like this card!
