Here's the links to see how the DT used their scraps!
Karen Amidon...that's me!
Everyone has leftovers! This is such a great way to use up those scraps! The sweet Snowman with Birds stamp was colored with Copics. A little dusting of iridescent glitter was added to his body. The scarf is adorned with tassels made from embroidery thread.
Finished size is A-2
Basket Weaving with Scraps!
Foam tape was used on all the strips that ran horizontally (weft) to give it a nice contour. The Wheat Sheaf image was stamped with Rich Cocoa and left natural.
The bottom woven edge was a left over cut from the front!
Finished size is 5 1/4 x 5
Looking forward to seeing your designs with paper scraps!
