I am trying to challenge myself to create something with my creative 'mess' when putting it away. On Sunday I was cleaning up my studio when I still had bits and pieces laying around from last weeks colourQ challenge. I grabbed the white card base and quickly put together this little number. I tend to create a lot of birthday cards because they are the most needed. I come from a family of 5 children, parents, in-laws, siblings, spouses, nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews we are now a family of 32. Well this was the first week of my personal challenge, lets see if I can do it again next week.
All Supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:
Cardstock: White, Simply Chartreuse, Bitty Dot
Stamps: Birthday Basics
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (Tsukineko)
Dies: Bloom Builders #1, Sending You
other: Orange Zest felt, Orange pearl

What a great idea Tracey! And you put your scraps to good use on this pretty card! Love your delightufl orange bloom!! You've inspired me to use up my little scraps from today, wish me luck 😊
ReplyDeleteHow fun it seems to have a big family. I have a tiny one. You did a great job with your scraps, and this is a beautiful card. You are very generous with your felt--I am thinking this card must be going to a special someone.
ReplyDeleteI love using my scraps too, some of the best ideas come from grabbing those odds and ends! Good luck with your challenge. Love your color combo on this one!
ReplyDeletewhat a card!!! great job
ReplyDeleteI still love those colors! And especially what you have done with them--love the polka dot background and that wonderful CAS flower--so bright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to recycle scraps Tracey. I love the orange zest with those green shades - a match made in heaven!

Very pretty, I really love that pop of bright orange against the green background. I love what you did with your scraps!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Tracey. And great idea! I have so many scraps that need to be used, in addition to all my not-so-loved supplies purchased over the last 8+ years... And I hear you on the big family. My husband has 8 siblings, and I have lost count on the extended family, but I know it's over 50, on just his side! Ack.
ReplyDeleteI love what you do with color, Tracey. You always find some classy, beautiful way to use them, and I love to see what you create. ;-) Cheers, my friend!
Nice way to use your scraps . I love the bright colors , funny today I used the same green. I got you beat in the large family, :) I come form a family of 9 children. Very pretty card Tracey!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Tracey. The felt flower is gorgeous!
