ICAD 2017 #14


Scrap attack is back.  Today's card is the second in an all scrap card.

I started with a plan green piece of paper scrap about the size of my card.  I trimmed it down a little and attached it to the card with Tombow tape runner. Then I stamped some travel images I have from a Recollections stamp would block stamp set in Archive Black Ink.  I tried to stamp the images randomly all over the card even though I already knew I was going to cover most of it up.  I wanted to make sure the parts that are seen would look like a background paper.

Next I cut the flowers out of the a strip of paper and attached them with some Tombow clear mono-glue.  Next I cut out the tag and the sentiment piece.  I punched a whole in the tag and added some baker's twine from Stampin' Up.  I then attached the tag with some foam tape.  Next I added the sentiment with some Tombow clear glue and a few small pieces of foam tape.

I then altered the sentiment with a purple Sharpie pen, so it would read "life is about what you love"
instead of "who" you love.  I added some rhinestones to the sentiment.  Lastly, I glued down the ends of the twine on the tag.

This is just a really fun and bright card.  I really had fun making this card.  In some ways it is  a bit rough and unfinished, but I think it gives the card whimsy. Sometimes things are more moving when they are not perfect.
