Patterned Paper #8

Hi and welcome to my blog! I am showing another way to use up those paper scraps. On this card I made a collage background using my scraps and then added an image from Just For Fun Stamps. This image is perfect for the month of April. As you see I used this same image earlier on my Just For Fun Challenge card this month.

The image was cut out using the Gina Marie stitched oval die. Paper flowers and a lace border were added for embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Shabby Chic #20

Hi! I am showing another shabby chic card today. I found this leaf in my stash where I had used a die to emboss it on the card stock. I then colored the raised areas with silver paint. Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress inks were smooshed onto the card stock for the background. A light spray of gold Shimmer Mist was sprayed over the piece.

I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the silver edges on the card. Die cut leaves, Prima flowers, cord, lace and silver ribbon were added for embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
