Here it is...

Here are a few close up's-

did you notice the glossy accent buttons?? I love them:)

 

 

 

 

 here is a pic showing how I used up my scraps-

 

 When using scraps I knew I could not make any background  as all that I had were maximum of 2-3 inch squares..at times I had to cut in a scrap paper in the middle to give the illiusion of it being bigger in size (the top layers will hide it in this case.) .  I used my scraps to make the heart ornament. it's not one pattern paper that I used here .In fact 2 kinds of red PP which I inked so that they look similar. I also made banners out of leftovers. Most of the scraps are from Glitz paper pack which I have been using to make a mini album off lately.The layout is titled memories and its a picture is from the last year V-day:) The day was really special although I was all alone!! so just thought to scrap it and save the memory for life!

Shabby chic card and tag

 

Hello friends..here is a card I made today ..and I am quite happy with it as I made it in a little over 30 minutes :) :)

 

 Used a lot of 'throwaway stuff'. The corrugated paper is from a cardboard box..I peeled off the top layer to expose the corrugated surface then used the peeled part to layer on top of it.. the base of my card and the base of the tag are from a wedding invite .the vintage lace is from a bed sheet ..my aunt gave it to me when she finally decided to throw away the bed sheet.The leaves are again from the same wedding invite ..I cut them into leaves and used antique linen distress ink on edges. The rest of the layering has been done by the packaging paper from the prima stamp set. The roses have been made by me..No dies..just some scissors and old paper..ribbon is from my stash. Applied gesso over the key charm and the roses to tone them down..

the sentiment is handwritten. The beads are from my stash and I acrylic painted them

Use your scraps- Create Geometrical patterns

 

Hi there friends!

This is my second post to show how to use your scraps... Motivated by the current challenge at lulupu

Here I have made two cards using my scraps..

have a look..

 

 

 

 

CARD 1-

How?

The scraps are from the cover page of LA CREAME paper stack from DCWV. Notice the patterned squares??

well these are the small display pictures you will find in the top corner of the cover..I loved them and didn't want to waste... so layered them to black cardstock

 

 

 

 

CARD 2-

 

This second card again uses the cover page of LA CREAME paper stack.It was so gorgeous that I thought of including it in some of my project.

How?

You might have noticed the cover page has some tiny tits bits of the inside pages..I used them to create this card...these were 2 squares on the cover page around 1.5 to 2 inches each .I didn't want to throw away these so just chopped then and layered them..

the small flower is also from the same cover ..but the scrap paper was so small that the flower could not come out as full as it should have been..

 

 

Both the above two cards used base cardstock which is from a single wedding card..it has such a beautiful vanilla colour and awesome thickness! I could not resist the urge to make use of them..

How did I plan?

1- I planned to make cards with monochromatic theme so sorted my scraps accordingly

2- black and white or black and cream look most stylish and elegant in geometrical patterns!  I seriously think so ..therefore tried to create sharp and straight patterns..
