Scrap bins come in handy!
Hi all! It's time for another AAA Cards Challenge! This time we have a sketch challenge...and I was able to use items from my scrap bin to make it!
Do you have a scrap bin? When I mean scrap, I mean extra-made pieces. For example, I tend to make multiple sentiments for a card and pick the best one. The rest go into my sentiment scrap bin. I also stamp multiple images for a card and try different color combos. The ones I don't use, off to the stamp images scrap bin. Yes...I have multiple scrap bins. 4 to be exact. It does come in handy when life is INSANE and I need to make a card super quick! Since life is SUPER crazy for us, the scrap bins came to the rescue!This flower from Altenew's Japanese Cherry was stamped on vellum paper with embossing ink and heat embossed with white powder. It was then colored on the back side with alcohol makers which gave it a soft color. This is a simple stamp set with coordinating dies for less than $15. A total bargain.
The sentiment is also from Altenew called Essential Sentiments. It's a foil set with a coordinating die, so you create 6 sentiments at once! My kind of set... This sentiment was foiled with gold foil.
So what about you? Can you create a card for our challenge using casted-off items like I did? I'd love to see them in our gallery.
Have a colorful day!
