My Scrap Stash yielded two small pieces of mahogany-colored paper printed in a foulard pattern that I thought would make a great background for a guy card.  But I needed a bigger piece for the layout I had in mind . . .

 . . . so I spaced the two pieces where I wanted them, covered the opening with a textured strip, and embellished with a couple of die cut leaves.  Now the printed papers look like one single piece.  I absolutely love how you can cheat while rubber stamping and have it be the right thing to do!
