Scraps

I don't like to throw scraps away, but sometimes I do. These two scraps made it on to cards, though. For this first one, I simply stamped the sentiment, from Gina K, on to the patterned paper and matted with black. I embossed a frame around it by embossing a cutting die by using the rubber mat. The entire layer is popped up on foam squares.


For this second one, I used an old flower stamp from PaperTrey Ink and cut it out. I added a bit of shading. Then I added FlowerSoft (yes, FlowerSoft!!) to the center. The sentiment is again from Gina K and I again matted with black. I embossed a white panel with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and matted that with black, also. The flower is popped up with a foam square.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Two more pretty cards! I haven't used a cutting die for embossing in a long time. I really need to remember that technique. I love the detail it adds.

Very pretty. The embossed frame around the top card is perfect.

I haven't thought about using a die for embossing in a long time. Great idea and it is great way to frame the first image. Love the flower on the second card. I think I still have a little Flower Soft too.
