Thursday Blast From the Past Challenge - 7/15 - Gatefold Card with Scraps!

[linda payne]

hey hey!! it's Thursday! and time for a new blast challenge..

(woooohoooo on all the entries for the Split Technique - there were 53! a record for my blast challenges - so glad you enjoyed it)

This week the challenge is to do a Gate Fold card ...and the "twist" -  to use only scraps! (with exception of your card base)

I cant be the only one with enough scraps that it makes me cringe - yet, I keep cutting into new and making more and more scraps!...Stop the insanity  heeeeheeeeeheeeee..sooooooo

I am on a personal "scrap" journey to use up my scraps!! and inviting you to join me this week

(course, I sure hope this journey is more successful than my "weight loss" journey LOL) 

 

 

This was all done with scraps (except base), I recognize scraps from GKD's Asparagas, Rose images were done with GKD's "A Year of Flowers" and "Pressed Flowers" (both by Melanie), colored with Copics V01, 04, 17, highlighted roses and leaves with Lilac glitter pen, mini adhesive pearls and crepe flower is inspiration from Selma Stevenson aka Queen of Flowers!

inside of the card is GKD's Botanical image and sentiment stamped with Vivid's Rose and Memento Black.

 

ok ok ok! if you dont have scraps (you are my hero!!) or you dont want to use your scraps - then you are free to cut into that cardstock for your project...and have more scraps!!

 

hope you try this and have fun! that's why we do this!!!

have a blessed week

hugs everybody (-:

Thanks for the challenge, Linda! I know I have tons of scraps waiting to be used. Your sample card is lovely.

[Tammy Terry]

Another great one!

[Sue VanDeVusse]

Linda, your card is absolutely stunning! Such gorgeous roses. I have tried this only once before, so this is a good challenge for me.

[Missy Terry]

Beautiful roses on your card Linda! I can't wait to try this, It will be my first time making a a gate fold card and I have TONS of scraps!!!

[Kathy]

This is going to be interesting. I hope I have enough scraps big enough to do a complete card.

Linda, I like how the embossing blends in to the paper. I had to look real hard to even notice the embossing. Great job.

[Donna]

Oh boy now what scraps to choose? Your card is beautiful by the way! :)

[Cheri Weston]

Here I thought I was the scrap queen!!! LOL. Great idea, Linda.

[segermom]

Linda-This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!. My scrap bin is overflowing and if I can find my way thru my craft room I would love to join this challenge...getting to a clean desk is a major obstacle. LOL

Great challenge, Linda! Your card is really gorgeous! Here is mine: http://stamptv.ning.com/photo/stvblastlp7-all-my-love?context=user
I used this opportunity to make an anniversary card for DH!

[Kay S.]

Beautiful card, Linda! I could make a lot of cards with the scraps I have stashed in my "scrap basket"! Somehow it's always easier to just grab a new piece of paper rather than dig through the scraps, isn't it? Great challenge for the scrap-user challenged like me! Off to dig through my scrap baskets!

Thanks, Linda. Here is mine:
