This card was made with scraps. During a cleanup project in my stamping area, I found many previously stamped impressions that didn’t turn out well, but I just couldn’t throw away. Now, I am determined to “use ‘em or loose ‘em”. The bottom layer was previously stamped with background Checkerboard and it didn’t make a full impression. To use it now, I covered half with a scrap of designer paper and stamped the verse on the other half. I water colored the flowers, sponged the edges, layered the piece with Barely Banana to match the background and raised it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. I am pleased with the results, even though the background is faded out in spots. It was fun to use scraps! This will be for the Bible Verse Challenge and I know exactly who to send it to. Happy stamping with scraps! TFL

How pretty this is! I like your verse stamped over the checkerboard, it's a great effect! Lovely image and soft colors, and a wonderful verse for a card.
