Cards - A2 - Scraps on my desk

The card base is dark brown textured cardstock.  

I cut a piece from a scrap of this gold and kraft polka dot card stock to leave a small border and adhered it to the card front.

I glued a strip of the card base card stock across the front aligned to the top.

I cut a bird on a branch with the Tim Holtz die and adhered it on with Scotch Quick Glue.

I used a gold sharpie marker to add an eye to the bird and some marks on the cardstock strip and branch.

A white insert and an off white envelope.  Yeah!

I chose a Stampin Up Kiwi Kiss card base for this card.

I cut a piece of SU designer paper which was just begging to be colored.  I used some Prismacolor pencils to color the main flower and the surrounding leaves.  I left the lilies white.

This layer was adhered to the card front with double sided tape.

Really simple but effective.

A white insert and envelope and another hits the stash.

Another Kiwi Kiss card base with a totally different card front.

The designer paper is a leftover.  I cut the layer leaving a small border then I cut it again and turned over the small piece to show the script back side.  I taped these together with clear tape.  It was adhered to the card front.

I added a narrow strip of dark brown cardstock over the join.  

I cut a bird on the branch again this time in Baja Breeze and used quick dry glue attached him along the strip.

A white quarter sheet insert and a matching envelope.

A cute baby card.  I painted this little bear a few weeks ago for my Macro Monday challenge on Flickr. 

I turned it into a card.  I trimmed it to the 3x3 size which is the limit for MM.

I layered it onto dark brown cardstock leaving a nice border.

I mounted it onto a Baja Breeze card base.

Dug into my stash of greetings and added this 2" oval punchie mounted with 3D foam tape.

Added a quarter sheet insert and an envelope.
