Turning scrap into art

I know there are other artists and crafters out there like me who have a bin full of wonderful little bits and pieces leftover from other projects. You know the ones...the unique paper, the stamped image that didn't get used, the random Altered Pages collage image from a full sheet of images. I dug into that bin this week to create a trio of artist trading cards (ATC) to share with you.

Normally, I share how to pictures with you but since I use using remnants I don't have any. Everything was already (mostly) ready to use. I hope you enjoy!

Supplies used:

Tea Party collage sheet

Pretty Purple collage sheet

Pocket Quotes 2 collage sheet

Chinese Textiles collage sheet

Year of the Dragon collage sheet

Stained Glass Windows collage sheet

Collage Backgrounds 1 collage sheet

Metal charms

Dew Drops

Glue/adhesive

Fancy Ribbon (used only the pink & black dangles)

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
