Oh, no, y'all! I'm about to flood this gallery...I've been using up scraps all week...these scraps are kind of stealth (or you might say an illusion).
The vase is paper pieced from a gel printing scrap. The Peacock strip on the left was a scrap of my granddaughter's fingerpainting. The colors were close, but not perfect...so I used the Direct to Paper method and covered it with Pretty Peacock ink. You can see the fingerpainted swirls.

Very pretty card, Beverly! I like the vase of flowers and the strip on the left is cool! How fun that it was from your granddaughter's finger-painting time!

Such a clever mix of scraps here—the gel‑printed vase has so much depth, and pairing it with that finger‑painted strip gives the whole design a playful, organic energy. The way you unified the colors with Pretty Peacock ink is such a smart touch, letting those original swirls peek through while keeping everything cohesive. A wonderful example of how scraps can shine, and thank you for joining in my challenge.
