Using up scraps of paper is something I recently started a discussion about as my tray was piling up. So taking this theme in hand I used three different strips of paper and cut 3 squares and made them into a patchwork effect. I then drew faux stitching round every square and the main card, plus he has stitching on his clothes. The image is from SJs Little Musings 'Archie' a favourite of mine at the moment. I also used scraps of card and ribbon for the sentiment, and punched the stars from another scrap. Fortunately the colours were all in the blue range.
He is Scrappy Boy!! The attempt was to make him look as though he's been out playing around, a bit scrappy and muddy in places.
