One of my favorite things about my Sizzix eclips is that I can take a shape and make it any size I want. On today’s card I repeated the fancy square shape (Backgrounds, Edges & Flowerful Alphabet)three times to create my image panel, mat and background. Easy peasy!

I made the “grassy” border by scribbling quickly on white cardstock ( I wanted streaks) with the chisel end of my marker.

Then I cut it with the eclips Edges cartridge.
