Scrap Cards

If you read my previous post "Challenging myself-challenging you" you will know that I had a pile of scraps and goodies on my desk that coordinated really well. I have made 3 cards so far and am just about out of the green Tsumugi cardstock that I used for an accent. I will probably file the rest in my scrap bags for the next time. For all three cards I used the following: Worldwin Treasures Cardstock in Glacier Blue, Autumn Leaves print paper, Green Tsumugi textured cardstock and Via White cardstock.

For this first card, I used circle and scalloped circle punches. Hello and the line of dots (Hero Arts) were stamped in Meadow Adirondack ink. The little bird is from Inkadinkado and was colored with Twinkling H20's. I added a little Crystal Stickles to his wing and tail feathers. You know, it just wouldn't be right if I didn't have a little glitter glue somewhere. The ribbon is from May Arts. This card is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and would be great for a gift card.

The next card is also 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" This one was really just some layering and a few Primas.
Thank You (Hero Arts) was stamped in Meadow ink and some eyelets and Crystal Stickles were added to the Primas for a little bling. The last card is my Flower card and I used this cute little flower pot stamp from Penny Black. I stamped the pot in Cloudy Blue Seashells Adirondack ink. I had the white punchies in my stash and puched a few more out of the Treasures Glacier Blue cardstock. Some of the flowers are layered flat to the image and some are popped with one layer of foam tape and a couple have two layers of foam tape. I added some gems from K & Co. and yes, a little Stardust Stickles to the dots on the flower pot. Afterall, what is a card without a little glitter glue? After some basic layering with the green cardstock and print paper, I added a little May Arts gold edged sheer ribbon. Tommorrow I will upload a picture of the Ink-Confections that I will be sending to Teresa. Stay tuned............................
