I have successfully adopted the #loveitchopit mantra and haven't been guilty of hoarding pretty papers for a long time now!  Instead, I'm finding I have lots of little offcuts that I don't want to waste so I'm tending to build cards around them!

Layering is a great way to use up oddments of pretty paper

This card is all about using up pieces of the gorgeous Petal Passion Designer Series Paper!

I watercoloured one strip and then layered away with Flirty Flamingo cardstock - one of the retiring 2016-2018 In-Colours that I'm trying to use up as well!

To finish the card I stamped the flower from Beautiful Day onto Flirty Flamingo cardstock with Basic Black Archival ink, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set it.  I then watercoloured with Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral inks to add some depth to the flower.  For the leaf, I simply painted over the Flirty Flamingo card with Tranquil Tide ink.

There's a Clear Faceted Gem in the centre of the flower for extra "oomph"!

Thank you for visiting.

Petal Passion in Flirty Flamingo

Continuing my quest to use up the retiring 2016-2018 In-Colours!  This time it's Flirty Flamingo, which I've paired with the gorgeous Petal Passion Designer Series Paper.

Petal Passion paper makes for a quick, easy and pretty card!

The flower is from one of the sheets of Petal Passion paper - I watercoloured it and then cut it out.

The flower is attached with a Stampin' Dimensional for extra impact

The leaves are cut from Emerald Envy cardstock (another of those retiring colours) and then sponged with a touch of Tranquil Tide ink.

The flower was lightly curled with a bone folder and attached with a dimensional.
