Using Up Scraps- post 2 of 2

This card came together easily.

I started out with a bunch of small pieces of dsp and some flowers.....and with the help of my square punch, an embossing folder I got this great quilt background for my greeting.

Using Up Scraps- post 1 of ....

We all have scraps....and sometimes they can be overwhelming.  

Today and tomorrow I am going to share cards I made using up my scraps. 

These cards are not standard size....as I was using up scraps....but it is amazing what you can do....this one started with an odd sized piece of black card stock, a cardboard frame from scrapbook supplies and a stamped greeting.

Sunday Inspiration....

We all have challenges in our lives....some are small and some are big....and some seem impossible. 

I found this photo online...it is an inspiration to me.....and so very true.....if we just keep taking small steps over and over we will reach our goal, our final destination. We can never give up.   It may not happen quickly....it may take a long time.....but in the end you will have your victory and a feeling of accomplishment. 

I have to remind myself of this every day.....keep looking at the big picture, think positive and keep going.  

Here is some more inspiration for you: 

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 
                                                                 Phillipians 4:13

Bokeh Birthday Wishes

The bokeh (out of focus photography term) technique is hot right now....so I thought I had better give it a try. 

I took a piece of whisper white cardstock and applied color randomly with sponge daubers. I chose baked brown sugar, so saffrom, pistachio pudding and coastal cabana. 

Then I took my circles stencil and added a few colored dots. Then I grabbed my whisper white ink and added lots of white dots. 

I used my heat tool to dry the white ink as it takes FOREVER to dry. 

I stamped two feather images in versamark on vellum from the Four Feathers stamp set.  I used black embossing powder and set it with the heat tool.  I used the coordinating framelits to cut them out. The greeting is from the Four You stamp set. 

I used mini glue dots on the back side of the feathers and behind the embossed letters to attach the vellum to the card front. 

Now I have a great card I could use for a guy or a girl! 

Pink Bunny for my Granddaugher....

I made this pink bunny card for my granddaughter.  The dancing bunny image is sooo cute!
