Martha's 90 min Scramble

Today on the Flickr Hero Arts Group, Martha hosted the 90 min scramble and for once it was at a very convenient time for me.... 8.00am on a Sunday morning.  She had a great challenge.... to do a scrapling card... using up that little scrap of card that comes about when cutting down a rectangle card to a square one.

My blue scrapling was made mostly with scraps on the desk.  The long strip was from cutting an A4 card into a square card.  I ended up with a few long strips that I usually keep for stamping and making into banners.   The background was a scrap where I tried double stamping but it was a little "off"  Not quite where I wanted the stamping.  The cupcake was paper pieced with two scraps in the pile and even the little ribbon was a scrap on the desk.

For the brown one, I used a new Tim Holtz stencil and some Tea Dye distress ink and then edged with a Brown Pitt Calligraphy pen from Faber Castell.  The coffee cup was stamped on the background and then again on a scrap, coloured and then cut out and layered on top.  It was fun pulling out some older Hero Arts Sparkle clear sets to make these two.

I then made another couple of scraplings  - but just now realised I didn't quite follow the instructions as they should have been more than one layer!!!!



The blue on is made like a mini tag card, using new Hero Arts goodies... the ink being Neon blue and the stamp from the new "Forever" Stamp your Story set.  Just added a sentiment from the "Everday Sayings" set (an older one)

And the brown balloons, a very CAS scrapling using one of the stamps in the "Flying Air Ships" cling set.  Simply coloured with Copics.

Had a fun 90 mins making these.  Now getting ready to head down to the beach to enjoy the late summer sun.
