Lots of lovely projects as always on the Paper Artsy blog this week. I didn't intend to play along as I am meant to be doing other things but I was tidying my desk and realized I could make something from the left overs! I always love how
Jo Firth Young does her doodling and I never doodle - daydream, Yes, but doodle, No! I had this piece of square Chatsworth on my desk where I had been doing another project using the lovely new Marlin Fresco mixed with grungepaste and I had a little left so I popped it through the JoFY circles stencil and then used Tikka through the flower stencil, so when I saw she had doodled around the circles I thought I would try it and turn the square into a card. I had the left over clay flowers and canvas stems from when I did the bottle with the Clay Flowers for Paper Artsy, and the painted buttons from when I did the house with the button roof. I know that makes it sound like I haven't tidied my desk in a looooong time, but I put left overs into little baggies and then never seem to use them. So there it is.
I am entering this card into this week's
Paper Artsy challenge.
ohh I like your leftovers card, I have a mini suitcase full of 'bits', it really is mini...I promise I don't have a 3ft case full of leftovers lol it is abut 10x8, and all my leftovers go in there. When it gets too full, and it's time to sit on it to close it then i make myself use up some of the bits. Always satisfying to use them.
ReplyDeleteWow love this,just goes to show what can be made with leftovers.xxx
