Cleaning Up the Scrap and Retired Cardstock using new stamps Totally Trees & Tin of Tags. . .

I don't know about you....but I get overwhelmed with scraps of dsp and card stock and leftover pieces and card bases along with retired card stock!  

This card was my mission to reduce some of that pile. 

I had a piece of purplish blue card stock ( it is so old I don't even remember the color name) that I used for a card base. 

Then I found a scrap of More Mustard to use as a mat. 

Next I grabbed my new Totally Trees stamp set and some ink pads- More Mustard, Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant and Sweet Sugarplum.  I randomly stamped the images on the art piece. 

The surprise greeting is from the Tin of Tags stamp set.  

This card certainly was a surprise....weird color combo and all...not sure if I am over the moon excited by this card....but it is now a use-able card.
