Using Scraps...

Happy Thursday,

Normally I try to avoid posting the same colours 2 days running as I don't think the ascetic on the blog is right however this was too good an opportunity to miss as today's (yes I know I sometimes write Toadys! lol) card is made entirely of the scraps left over from yesterdays card.  The main body is simply constructed using the pieces of pearlised card that I cut the ovals form for yesterdays creation!  The other pieces are either leftovers form that card or were cut using scrap pieces.  I wanted to show that not only can one card lead to another but that it is wise to keep all the spare pieces when you are creating because you never know what will come of them.

I started by simply foam layering each waste piece over the top of each other cutting a wider border on each subsequent layer.  The centre sentiment panel is foam mounted onto a spare oval and is the foam mounted the the back of the card.  This is something I am always doing as I love the differing levels.

I added a few more dots of the perfect pearls and some of the delicate daisies, this time I added bases cut using the whole petal set to offset the cream of the front.  The only addition, again cut using a scrap piece, was the filigree leaves which just set the whole piece off.

Interesting what you can make with scrap isn't it?
