Pink Cotton Scraps
I made this card for today’s Sketch Challenge at SCS as well as for the Crafty Secrets Challenge that is being run in their forum at SCS. I flipped the sketch on its side and I used a Cotton Scrap by Crafty Secrets, which are my all time favorite product from them. I fell in love with the Cotton Scraps the first time I saw them, and still love them just as much! They are so fun to work with!!! Here’s my card:
The DP sheet used is from Crafty Secret’s Pastel Pad. Rather than use the horizontal strip on the sketch (horizontal when flipped, as I did), I let the lace border that was a part of the DP serve as that portion of the sketch — works for me!!! This is really quite simple, a few layers, ribbon, some pretties, a sentiment and pretty much done! Here’s a close-up of some of the detail:
The pretties up on top arespacerbeads(jewelry making section), adhered with a glue dot, then I applied a Rhinestone to the top. They are so delicate and pretty. Another of the fun little things sent to me by Sabrina — thank you, Sabrina!!! My favorite way to use the Cotton Scraps is to first fringe the edges, then sew my Scrap to a backing piece of cardstock cut a bit larger than the scrap (here I used meandering straight stitches, 3 times around), and then I like to distress the edges of the backing piece with my distressing tool. Then it’s ready to be adhered to the card!

So pretty! I have some of the cotton scraps, but have yet to use them! Love the springtime feel here!

Oh my gosh Sharon, you’ve blown me away with this one, absolutely gorgeous! I forgot I had some Cotton Scraps, if I could make a card look like this, I’d be over the moon with joy. The papers are gorgeous with your bling (I have some of that as well and have never used it . . . LOL!)
Beautiful! I love the soft colors, the image, the sewing, those brads, and everything about the card! Thanks for sharing your talent.
So beautiful….love the look!
Sharon, this is absolutely gorgeous! Love the colors and the wonderful elements. I’ve never tried the cotton scraps, but this sure does inspire me!! TFS!
Wow, what a beautiful card Sharon and what a gorgeous idea! I love all the elements on this card and the colours you’ve chosen work so well together.
Now you’ve got me thinking about cotton scraps – will have to look through my patchwork pieces which I’ve collected over the years but haven’t done anything with! Thanks for sharing!
Very pretty! This ribbon is great with the DP that you used!
Wow Sharon, this is absolutely stunning! Who would think anyone could takie a piece of a cotton scrap and make it look like this? Everything about this card is just outstanding. Great job!
Joan
Beautiful card Sharon!! Love your pretty fabric scrap! I bought some of these endcaps from Michaels after Laura (scrapnextras) posted a card with them! This is such an enabling addiction, lol!! I just love what you have done here!!!
Very feminine and pretty!
Is it the spacer beads behind the rhinestones? If so, where
do we find them, or whatever they are??? WOW!
Just beautiful! I think I have some of those little findings (thanks to you!) so I will have to see what I can come up with like this….cool idea!
This is stunning, Sharon! I absolutely love it! ๐ TFS! Hope you are doing well! ๐

Hello Sharon….I gasped when I saw this card….hasten to add it was a pleasant gasp….oh the look is just wonderful….I am wondering exactly what ‘cotton scraps’ are. I can’t see to find them on Joan’s site. Now I’m wondering is this bits of cotton fabric or is it paper which just happens to be called ‘cotton scraps? Would be grateful for an explanation for a ‘green’ Brit!!!! Thanks. Joyce
*thud*….OH WOW!! (did you place EACH individual spacer bead in that pattern?!!)
Beautiful Sharon!!
Very pretty! Anyone would be tickled “pink” to receive it! ๐
This is just gorgeous, Sharon!! I love your stitching, embellishments, and pretty ribbon!! Wonderful challenge card!!
Continuing with your usual tradition…this is beautiful Sharon ๐
This card is so elegant! I love the flower embellishments with the rhine stones!
Sharon, this is so soft and beautiful!! I love it!
Oh, my! This is about as pretty as it gets! I love these Crafty Secrets images, but I want to color like that! Sooooooo pretty! An absolutely gorgeous card, Sharon!!
