Scraps and a seagull

I’ve shown this many times on the blog … using up bits off the desk to make a card. Todays is another one of those.

The background uses a piece that had a few mop up splatters … so I embossed it, lightly ran over with an ink blending tool and added lots of splatters to it in the colours I thought would work with the seagull image.

The seagull digital stamp was already printed off and still on the desk having used it a week or so ago for another card. Perfect for cutting out and loosely colouring with ink and water brush.

The Kraft card I embossed with some ink on the embossing folder to give depth to the embossing colour. This was just a scrap sitting on the desk that was the perfect size for this layer.

The ribbon I did hunt through the stash for so that and the paper clip I added rather than just grabbing from the desk.

The teal card was some scrap where I had wiped off the brayer … there was only a small piece left but I loved the texture on this so glad to have found a use for it.

Finally the sentiment … I often stamp multiple sentiments in one go just in case the first doesn’t work out and this was one left over from another project … just needed cutting to the right size and adding onto the card.

I chose a watery teal colour cardstock for the blank and then added the card front panel to it and an insert inside to finish off!

Oh those Kraft circles are leftover bits from the zero waste leaf die I had cut (I’ve kept leftover circles in a little pot for using as flat embellishment!)

Happy crafting!
