Use Your Scraps


Time for another challenge here at Craft Room, thank you all for your lovely entries with beautifully stamped backgrounds. It's Esther's turn to choose the latest theme and she has chosen  'Use your scraps' for her theme. This is your chance to use some of the scraps that you've probably accumulated after you've finished your projects. You could use paper scraps, bits of ribbon or thread, chipboard cut offs, anything that is left over from another projects.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Stamp Addicts who are offering a £10 voucher to spend in their store.


When I do my DT pieces for Gecko Galz I always seem to print of more background paper than I need so for my card I have used some of the GG scrap background papers that I have left.


I hand stitched different papers together, stapled some ribbon scraps to the edge and the matted it onto some black card then this was matted onto a card blank that I've coloured with faded jeans Distress ink. I stamped the flowers onto some more of the scrap paper and cut them out  and then I adhered them to the card and added the buttons. I used a Funstamp stamp for the flowers.
