Strips of P.paper from stash, stamped sentiment from Penny Black and my favourite texture stamp round the edges.
Background on first card was an unliked watercolour my daughter did and she tore it up and binned-then I rescued it knowing it would be brilliant for backgrounds-binning it indeed lol
The background on the second card was made with a piece of card used for cleaning my brayer.

Good save on the backgrounds Carol lol. I have bin hoked many times to re use something. Loving this brilliant card!
ReplyDeleteVery nice cards - love the Penguins
ReplyDeleteWhat a great save on that unwanted background your daughter made! These penguins are so much fun with their grumpy expressions!! Cute cards!
ReplyDeleteOMG I love the image of grumpy penguins. Clever of you to use paper that others might consider trash, thanks for inspiring others to be open minded. Love the cards.

ReplyDeleteOh, aren't they adorable, such wonderfully grumpy penguins.
ReplyDeleteI love your ingenious backgrounds - want not, waste not, as my mother always said. It also occurs to me that they are the perfect candidate for monochrome cards and great for batch card making .. you can tell I have a one tracked mind at the moment.

I love when we save a scrap and it can be used!!! Who would have known - they look great. Carol, you know I love all your cards but I am having trouble with these "grumpy penguins"! LOL Just can't wrap my head around their even grumpy eyebrows!!!! LOL Such a different stamp and just love what you created with this stamp!!! Big hugs
ReplyDeleteHaha texture stamp sighting! I am now trained to expect to see you using that stamp on every card, lol. I see why you were excited to get those Grumps, you've made fab cards with them. xox
ReplyDeleteI love these Katzelkraft stamps! These days I think nothing should be thrown out because it can always be cut down as a background or die cut into a shape or word and then it looks fabulous. Yes, binning indeed. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome card! Love the designs! Thanks so much for playing along in the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge. Good luck with your entry and hope to see you again. Sladjana (DT for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends)
