Today, I have a card to share that I made using one of my favourite elements: white space.
I've always been a huge fan of white space on cards and scrapbooking layouts
-- it allows the eye to rest and draws more attention to the elements on your project.
To make my card, I used some Chickaniddy Crafts Scrumptious products.

To make my card, I used some Chickaniddy Crafts Scrumptious products.
I paired a diecut from the Scrumptious Diecut Tags with some stickers from the Scrumptious Illustration Stickers.
Here's my card:
I started with some white cardstock that I layered over a piece of Scrumptious Friends and Family patterned paper that I trimmed to 4.25x5.5".
I cut a piece of Scrumptious Check Please patterned paper to 1x4" and adhered it to the top of the white cardstock and stitched it in place with a zig zag stitch.
I diecut a banner from the back of the Scrumptious Check Please patterned paper (with PTI's Get a Handle on It) and layered it on my card with the diecut from the Scrumptious Diecut Tags
(on this, I stamped the sentiment from Twirly Girly Clear Stamps.)
The diecut I used already had a flower at the top, so I added a couple more from the Scrumptious Illustration Stickers.
I wanted to add a couple more leaves, so I used a leaf diecut from my collection (PTI's Turning a New Leaf)
and diecut the green stalks from the corn stickers on the sheet -- this worked perfectly!
Here's a close-up:
How about you?

I LOVE that card, Leigh! The layered banner strips and flowers are SO sweet, and I really love your design. Your use of white space is brilliant!
Loving your peek, too! Totally intrigued by that brushstroke heart...
soooo beautiful ♥
I love your card Leigh and I'm a huge fan of white space!
Thank You~
Just love it !!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful !
Love your card design, Leigh. It really highlights the floral arrangement and banners. I always struggle using patterned papers, so I will have to try a stitched strip across the card top - it looks very neat!
You've worked magic with the white space, and the cluster of flowers/tags...simply stunning! Another gorgeous card of yours to adore!
