Graphic Backgrounds in Black, Red, and Honey - ATCs

Hurray!  I was able to do a little creating last night! I finally got a new craft table and enough items unpacked and reorganized that I can start making things again.  I have really missed being able to do so.

I'm still in the process of cleaning up and cleaning out after the wet basement calamity, and in that vein I spent some time going through paper scraps.  Scraps are the bane of my existence.  I hate to throw away perfectly good scraps, but honestly, there has to be a limit.  I found papers from my early days of stamping and card making, and some of the colors and patterns really made me cringe!  I know I'm never going to use them, so they went directly into the waste basket and I have vowed not to feel guilty.

But I found some scraps that I still like and I made this trio of ATC backgrounds.  The black scraps were already cut on the diagonal from a previous project, so I stayed with clean, straight cuts for a modern, graphic feel.  I love red and black together, but ran out of the red so I added the honey-colored music paper for contrast.

I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do with these backgrounds, but I'm sure I'll get some ideas as I continue to sort through my supplies.  It feels so good to be back into the swing of things!

Have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by.
