Using up Bits and Pieces

If you are like me, you have a box full of unfinished cards and card parts that are left over from classes you've taken or kits from classes you've given.

Not wanting to be wasteful when I found a watercolor flower I had done, I cut it out and decided it needed to go on a card.  I rummaged through my box of bits and pieces and ended up with the following "Aloha" card.


This is a side-step card and here's a picture from another angle.

Mermaid Mixed Media on canvas

I've been having some fun with mixed media.  I decided I wanted to do an underwater theme using Julie Nutting's mermaid stamp.  After much thought and experimentation, here's what I came up with.



watercolor background technique

This week has been a card-making week for me.  What fun I've had.

I found a watercolor technique on pinterest for background papers.  It was posted by Happy News- bits & pieces by Heather Telford and I made three cards from the background papers I made using this technique.

Here are the cards I created!

I decided to enter the current Our Daily Bread Challenge using their "Holy Angel" and "Amazing Grace" stamp sets as well as paper from their Shabby Rose Collection.
