Pretty "Scraps" Card

Well, recently I've been in the "spring cleaning" mood so I've been sorting things in closets, cupboards, drawers...and my craft room! I actually sorted and got rid of at least half of the paper scraps that I save from card projects. I had a whole file drawer full! And now all the solids are separate from the prints...a lovely rainbow in an organized box. A few of my favorites were tiny, tiny scraps that I just couldn't part with, so I decided to make one last card with them. I had to piece the background papers and even some of the flowers. It took me probably 3 times longer than usual to make this card! Not sure those scraps were worth that! LOL

Here is a partial list of items used for this one:

Cardstock- DCWV "Holiday Collection" & "Indian Summer", Paper Studio

Dies- Tim Holtz "Tattered Flower Garland", Spellbinders "Scalloped Borders 2", Trimcraft "Tag Dies"

Punches- McGill "Birch"(leaf), Martha Stewart "Flower"

Stamps- StampingScrapping "Say It Your Way"

Ink- FSJ "Coffee Bean"

Embellishments- Basic Grey "Bling It -Greens", FSJ "Natural Twine", tea-dyed seam binding

'Get Well' with Some Bling!

I gave this card to an older lady from my church today who recently fell and broke her hip. My mom did that several years ago and I know how disheartened she was for a while until she was really able to get around well again. And I know this lady loves my cards! So I just had to make a special one for her...with plenty of bling!

My list of ingredients-

Print Cardstock: K&Company "Julianne"

Ivory cardstock: Paper Studio, heavyweight

Die: Spellbinders "Labels 29"

Punch: Martha Stewart "Frond"

Stamps: Hero Arts "Get Well", Woodware USA "Leafy Swirls"

Inks: Memento "Bamboo Leaves", FSJ "Coffee Bean", Stampabilities "Lime", Excelsior "Green"

Embellishments: StampingScrapping flowers "Gardenia" & "Closed Rose Buds", KaiserCraft Rhinestones, generic sheer ribbon
