Using Up Some Scraps

I have been sorting through all of my stamping supplies and have discovered a heap of paper that I should use before I invest in more during the Paper Party Promotion this month. . . So here is the card that I came up with this afternoon whilst avoiding finishing my swaps.

I have a heap of Greenhouse Gala designer series papers and old card stock from three seasons ago so this card is made with Summer Sun (yellow) cardstock as well.  I have combined a few current products including the Pear Pizzazz card stock and Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon.

I stamped the two little girls from The Nicest Things about ten months ago and coloured them at the time using Stampin' Write Markers - Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, Wild Wasabi, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, Real Rust and Riding Hood Red.  Punched the image out with the Big Shot today because there was an ink blotch on the bottom of the image from storing the project in the wrong place! Mounted it on Summer Sun.

The flowers were scraps that I have had in my flower box for ages too - Riding Hood Red and Pumpkin Pie card stock originally - Whisper White centres.  I used Crytal Effects to make them pop a little as I thought that the whole project was a little under-whelming.  The sentiment is from a current Hostess Set - Happiest Birthday Wishes.  I used the Decorative Label Punch and daubed the edges with Daffodial Delight.

Decorated the inside with flowers too - glossed the Riding Hood Red one with Crystal Effects.  I also mounted the whole card on Riding Hood Red (with a minimal border) and then on Pear Pizzazz to marry in the whole colour theme. . .

Until next time
