Scrap-a-licious

I've been thinking about Allison's Suggestive Sunday all week. This week the challenge is to use scraps, which we all have plenty of. Today, I had some time to dig through my piles and use up a few bits. I made two cards with just scraps, and can make many many more, but I need to go visit with DH before he leaves town again Monday...

I wish the green ink I used stood out a little more on this kraft tag. I had every green out, and ended up choosing my Whispers Archival in Pine. The flower is a Prima, topped with a new Center Kisses flower that I won in the Prima prize package. It arrived today, and oh, what fun! The very center of the flower is a Sprinkles brad from Queen & Co. The rick rack is May Arts, purchased from Verve Visual. The swirly frame around the tag is from Studio G, and I used my Sakura glaze pen on it. I added some Sakura Stardust glitter pen to the sentiment as well.

Here's a close-up of the flower, and you can see the glaze, too:Next, I wanted to use these gorgeous scraps of DP, but don't think the final product is quite up to snuff. I didn't have the right base card color, and settled for white. This was Cuttlebug embossed and swiped with pale yellow chalks. The sentiment is Studio G and the flowers are Primas, centered with Antique Copper Making Memories brads. Well, I have to work a bit in the morning tomorrow. Don't think I'll have a chance to stamp again until tomorrow night. The weather here is supposed to be gorgeous, so we'll probably get started on the garden in the afternoon. There is a lot of clean up to do before we can get ready to plant in a few weeks. But oh! to be outside in sunshine again!

Have a good weekend, and thanks for looking!
