Left Overs Again?

Love the idea of this swap.
Theme
Have extra cards you’ve created for a swap? Want to clear out your gallery? Let’s do some spring cleaning and share your lovable leftovers with other artists. Note: These must be cards you’ve created (not pass-along cards from other artists).

I sorted six of my cards - if you remember them from a previous posting then please forgive me for showing them again.

This first card is made up from some Welsh Castles leaflets with added diecut flowers & leaves and sentiment.



I fussy cut the crockery and tray ;pictures from a magazine and was lucky enough to find the sentiment within the pages!


These two cards were made from foreign text pages.  I used some illustrated pages for the background and then added the other pages over the top, opening them out to show the picture beneath.  I stamped the sentiment in sepia.



This is one of my first sets called Eclectic Me!
Lots of stars, fibres, butterflies and most importantly my Lord Jesus.


A vintage photo overlaid with text pages, then gold leaf added in places.  A handwritten sentiment, torn and wiped with a teabag - used of course!


The last card was made for Summer of Colour 2015 - the last one :-(
After the gesso on the background had dried, I spread a little bit of colour ink.  I used paper from a French magazine for the whole series, cutting flower petals from the appropriate coloured pages.  I tore the paper sentiment and then made the petals into flower shapes.

I received the following cards:

What a fantastic stamped crab!
Thank you Allegrae.

This is a cutie stamp!
Thank you cindylou.




This is a silver card, overlaid with printed heavy vellum.  An added triangle of lace is attached with a brad.
Thank you camprose.


So many interesting embellishments, painted and glittered.
Thank you catb.






This is a CUP design resized - clever.
