It is very easy to do. Once you have your main focal point, you then design around it. Here I did a paperdoll, add an umbrella, cloud and a couple of rain drops and I got my "rainy day" scene.

CardScapes
You've heard of landscapes but have you heard of cardscapes? Well, I didn't either until I just made up the word, lol!!!! I'm know to do that from time to time. Most crafters call it paper piecing but when I stand back and look at a card with die cuts, it looks like a pretty scene to me aka cardscape.

In this one, I wanted a princess. Add a castle, a little path... and I got my "fairy tale" scene.

This is my favorite. I showed it in the Xmas blog hop. I added a tree, deer, star and snow background and got my "winter scene".

Its all in the background! Hope you like them :) If you've done a "cardscape" before, we would love to see it. All you have to do is leave a comment with the link to your blog and we'll come visit :)
