i have a drawer, actually it's one of these trays, and it sits under my scrap table. this tray is beginning to overflow with random bits left over from other projects, and i just can't bring myself to throw out these random bits. therefore, i have decided that this tray must be empty by the end of summer break. that leaves me about 6 more weeks to make as many cards as possible out of these random thingies. this mini-card here - it's about 2.5"x4" - i put together during the first five minutes of true blood the other night. i consider it a sin to multi-task during true blood, so i threw this one together as quick as i possibly could.
cardstock: bazzill [white/canvas texture, kraft]; paper: sassafras lass [piccadilly/pocket full of rosies collection], [green tissue paper];
stamps: hero arts [vertical clouds/wood mounted]; ink:
tsukineko [pearlescent sky blue/brilliance pigment ink]; paper accent: american
crafts [orange butterfly]; wire: darice [20-gauge
copper wire]; embroidery floss: dmc [brown].
Love this card that you did with scraps! My pile is sky high as well! This inspires me to dig into it and see what I can come up with. What a great challenge!
