Why not play along with this weeks challenge using your Stampotique Images for a chance to win a $30 Stampotique GC, and a chance to be our August Guest Designer, click here for more details.
I don't know about you, but I have ton's of scraps of leftover pattern papers (and card stock), so I put them to good use by creating a Quilted Card. The Quilt is created with MME papers and some coordinating Stampin' Up! card stock, I placed a Sheet of Scor-Tape on my grid sheet when forming the quilt, it was much easier than applying adhesive to each piece. I distressed the edges and embossed the quilt with the Damask Texture Fades Folder.
I stamped Olive Rose in Carmel on Vanilla card stock, then added this sentiment in Chocolate ink, and cut with Spellbinders Petite Oval, layering on Labels Twenty. I created some rolled flowers by punching 1-3/8" circles from pattern paper, then cutting the circle to form a spiral and rolled with a Petal Roller and glued in place - this all from scraps!
