Looking for a way to use up your scraps of papers? The Collaged Circles Technique in the August TJNL is wonderful way to recycle your scraps of papers into a beautiful background. I did alter the technique a bit, by adding some distressing and sponging to my circles.

I added the quote from Our Daily Bread Designs Finish The Moment from the Blessings Collection in Coffee Archival, distressing the edges. To finish the card, I dyed some Seam Binding with Walnut Stain Distress Ink, and added some Zva Pearls, a Coral Blossom and stick pin.
