Cathy is our challenge hostess for the WTUI this Thursday. Her challenge was a great opportunity for me to actually use an offcut of patterned paper - normally I end up binning them. But then, I made an envelope to match because it was an off-size card, and ended up with another offcut of DP from that, sigh... You can find her challenge HERE.
Scrap of paper on table crimped and edge torn. There was a bit of card in my background box with blue, used for a mop-up job: I added Broken China, Victorian Velvet and Stormy Sky DOX. Stencilled a Carabelle stencil over the right side with gesso, and sprinkled some violet Brusho over it. Added the crimped piece. TH Wildflower Stems 1 & 2 cut from assorted card (kraft, purple, watercolour paper) DOX on the flower, SN clear glitter on the purple one. Raffia tied around and a bow added. Matted onto kraft with distressed edges, then a white base. 7âe x 5.5âe . Used another piece of similar DP to make a custom envelope.

You've created a masterpiece with your scraps, Sabrina! Love the crimping on the torn layer. I always love the many techniques you use on your backgrounds and the colors and textures on this one are so pretty! Thanks so much for your wonderful sample!
