Scrap It!


It's Thursday and of course that means another new challenge over at the StampInsanity blog, and this week Beth has challenged us all to use up some scraps. All those leftover bits that you keep "just in case". Now, I haddn't thought of this before, but using almost excusively digi papers means that I no longer have a scrap pile. If I need less than a full sheet of a particular paper, then that's all I use, but magically, I still have a complete sheet of the paper left over afterwards. So, I decided to make a card using small, slightly wonky, rectangles of two different papers. Not really scraps since I created them for this project, but very representative of scraps generally. The image and sentiment are both by Stamp Insanity, lol, you gotta love a good pun, right? :P And the scraps of paper were created with the Blue Christmas set by Crafty Chaos Designs.
Here are the other challenges I made it for:
Corrosive Challenges - black and blue
Order of the opus Gluei - Thanks
Craft Your Passion - double up (on this one I've used two different patterned papers)
Creative Card Crew - Thanks
My Time to Craft - Rhapsody of roses. Does one rose count as a rhapsody? If it was delivered by a dashing young man in a swirling cape then possibly :P
City Crafter - thank you
Top Tip Tuesday - use an image or sentiment that you've coloured in. My tip here is, when you'e colouring digitally, open up the papers that you're going to use as well as the image you're colouring, and then you can take colours from the papers and make your image match exactly.
Freshly Brewed Designs - 2 or more patterned papers
Fashionista Friday - blue
Fairytale Challenges - anything goes
Our Creative Corner - attitude of gratitude
Sweet Stop Sketches - sketch 81
Thanks for looking! :)

This is cute and funny. I love it. Also love the digi aspect. I am slowly converting to digi. Sometimes. Love the background "scraps" you used. And that vampire is adorable. Thanks so much for playing with us at OPUS GLUEI.
