Scraps off the desk play

Now regular readers of my blog will know I don’t tidy my desk after every play and so I often end up making cards from scraps leftover from other projects … and here is one such card!

The patterned paper is a bit leftover from a project in August, the rose gold circle is similarly leftover from something I made in the summer.

The two die cut leaves are leftovers from using the zero waste leaf die and have been in the bits and bobs plate for a while.

The white embossed cardstock came in a parcel with a swap. Then the background Kraft cardstock was just sat on the desk… so I embossed it with the Christmas greeting folder and then went over it with my white Kraft ink dauber … it gives a little highlight to the embossing when you do this… although it is quite subtle and the key is to only add it lightly.

The green pearlescent vellum has also been on the desk for a while and it finally got its use here today with a brad to adhere it in one corner and the rest of the glue hidden behind the sentiment label which I embossed with the sentiment once I had die cut it out… it was cut from scrap but was intentionally made for this project at least!

So a fun and I think interesting card mainly made from scraps!

And now I come to a little break on my blog as straight after my holiday we got an inspection at work so I’ve not been able to craft and have not many premade things left to share … it’s been a good run I think I’ve managed to post daily for at least 3 months but sometimes life gets in the way! So give me a couple of weeks to get things sorted and then I will be back!

Happy crafting!

Catherine
