Joy II


Hmmm, you know when you just dont want to throw anything away? :) .......... well I made this card from left-over scraps of paper and die cuts cluttering up my desk from last weeks 'I Love Promarkers GDT' card.  I try not to keep saving offcuts, and mostly decorate the inside of my cards with any remaining bits, but this paper seemed to go on forever! lol.

I followed the sketch over on the Sugar Bowl for their great challenge there, and used the fabulous digi-stamp called 'Joy'.  I didnt realise until I had photographed it that I had forgotten to add the little rectangle backing panel (as per the sketch) and I really couldnt face pulling it to bits, so I hope I am allowed to enter with this.

I coloured with promarkers, stitched pearl beads onto the doily die and used K&Co Papers.  

I am entering this card in the below competitions:

Sugar Bowl - Great sketch by Marlene
ABC Challenge - O is for Old Fashioned/vintage/lace etc
Top Tip Tuesday - Stitching
Bearly Mine - Ribbons and Pearls

Thanks so much for looking :) I really appreciate it, and good luck to everyone entering these challenges.

    Scraps do go on don't they?? I try to be disciplined & punch shapes out of all my scrapling card after each project. There is a box filling with tiny bits of paper that needs sorting..... anyhow back to business. Love the colours & softness on this & those stitched pearls are ever so effective. Your stitching is a really lovely individual touch, especially the way you use beads.
