Christmas sentiment

This card may not look like it, but it is made with scraps of paper from former projects.  JustRite has challenged us to make a card with our scraps.  I recently went through all of my papers and removed the scraps that I tend to tuck back in.  I did not have many Holiday papers.  The stamped image is from JustRite "Cristmas Nested Sentiments.  The scrap of red I had was from a 12 x 12 so I made three Poinsettia using the new Spellbinder die.  I embossed and then distressed the veins with Distress Ink Walnut Stain.  I removed them from the die and added Distress Ink Aged Mahogany.  I added a gem center from Kaiser Kraft that I used on a different project a few weeks ago. The leaves are a scrap and are really the flower petals.  The frame is a scrap from My Minds Eye  (I had left the company name on the scrap) that I used last year and then cut with the Spellbinder Labels 22.  the white and red glitter paper were scraps and I do not remember the company at this time.  Hope you enjoy

Friends Always

This card was made as part of The Shabby Tea Room Week #49 "Keeping Warm" challenge.  The inspiration for the card was this picture to the right.    I used Kraft paper for the base followed by a Bazzill brown.  The DP is Peachy Keen from American Craft and was distressed with Antique Linen.  I used my Copic Air Brush with marker E57 to make the lace have an older look.  The ribbon is from May Arts and was tied as double bow on the Bow Easy.  A Prima flower finished off the bow.  The pearls are from Basic Grey.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa using a JustRite "You Inspire Me" Stamp.  This was cut using a Spellbinder circle and mounted on brown cut with the a Spellbinder scallop circle.  Hope you enjoy.
