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.
