Scraps!

We've had some wild storms over the last 24 hours - weird weather - in between the torrential downpours and thunder/lightning, we sat outside and did the crossword!! It's raining quite heavily again now so it gave me a perfect excuse to have a little 'fiddle' with some odd bits laying about on the desk and make a quick CAS card!
Base card is Ivory Linen and the stamp is an old one!

The script paper is from a Papermania pad and I edged it with some scraps of black card cut with a scalloped punch.

An off cut of some cream vintage cotton lace was wrapped round the middle.

The tatty flower is just all bits of papers from the same paper pad. Cut it with different sizes of nesties circles, tattered the edges a bit, sprayed with some water and scrunched up. Once dryish put them all together with a brad.

The leaves and foliage were also punched from odd bits of paper and I just finished it off with some black pearls.

(There appears to be a small mark on the left - must have been on the camera cos it ain't on the card! My mucky fingers on the lens no doubt!)

Challenges -
Cuttin' and Stampin' - CAS
ABC - Use Scraps
Lady Annes - Monochrome
Card Making Mama's - Monchrome
Fashionable Stamping - Use Script

and although it's a bit wet for the Playground, have donned my wellies and am going to go splash in the puddles! x

Fabulous card Viv - love the neutral colours and the script paper. Gorgeous flower too - all the elements blend together perfectly.

The heavens have opened again here - as you say,it's weird weather!
Just come back from the dentist - had a root canal job and I feel as if I've been hit with a brick, so a flooded garden would just about make my day!!!Lol

Hugs, Sylvia xxx

Hi Viv
what a gorgeous card, that flower is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it - it may be tatty but it's so elegant too.
Hope you're settling in well at your new home

Lovely card, if there was a mark on one of mine it would definitely be on the card lol. Always seem to notice that the corners are bent just after I have popped it in the post. Hugs, Amanda x
