SERVING UP MORE LEFTOVERS

I have been having so much fun making cards this week with "leftovers!"  A side benefit is that the two boxes of "leftovers" that have been accumulating are now nicely organized!

Today's card uses two techniques, Watercolor Embossed Vellum and Heat Embossing Glimmer Paper.  If you missed these videos on Learning with Friends, watch a replay and learn how to do these techniques to make beautiful cards.

The one "new" thing that I added to the card to make the Embossed Peach Pie Glimmer Paper flower from Gallery Blooms pop a bit was to also create a Night of Navy die cut with the same flower.  

I offset the Night of Navy die cut just a bit behind the flower which created a shadow effect.  I also die cut a couple of NIght of Navy leaves and added those on each side of the flower.

A Night of Navy glittery bow finished the card front.  I tested putting a sentiment in various spots, but every place I tried detracted from the flower and background.  So, I added a sentiment on the inside of the card and called it good-to-go.

There were no leftovers used on the inside of the card, but that's OK.  I still ended up with a beautiful card with minimal work -- and two less "leftovers" in my box!

Use this link to download a copy of the tutorial.  But, I really hope you have been inspired to use YOUR leftovers!

The products I used are listed below.  Most of these "leftovers" are still are available.
