No Time To Stamp?

I made something today purely for the fun of it!!! I found some pretty scraps of paper I’ve had for a long time and pulled out some buttons, ribbon, etc.to match. And, to be totally honest, it took me longer than 10 minutes to gather up all the things I wanted to use — but once gathered and in front of me, the card went together very quickly. Here it is:

I created a little mini collage on a panel cut and embossed using my Long Rectangle Nestabilities. There is a hole punched in the left side of my little collage through which the ribbon is run. Friend is on a Nestabilities cut/embossed tag. The flowers have pearl centers, the button has embroidery thread and additional pearls were used to fill in some space. The designer paper scraps are adhered to a white card base, with a little piping strip of white between the two designs. The collage panel is adhered with mounting tape!!!

This was really fun to make and I’d like to do a bit more digging in my massive stash of vintage sewing supplies to see what I can come up with!!!! Using the self-adhesive pearls in a variety of colors made this go together quickly. The Nestabilities and pearls can be purchased at Flourishes.

Wouldn’t it be fun to make up some of these little collage panels ahead of time and have them all ready to go when you need a quick card —- hhhmmmm, might be a great idea!!!!
