Bits and Pieces

While trying to de-clutter my stamping area, I put together these cards

using bits and pieces I had collected.

Sponged distress inks dried marigold, twisted citron and broken china using a "stencil" which was a plastic film on my new laptop keyboard. Flowers stamped in wild honey and squeezed lemonade.

Used one of my favorite Stampin' Up! sets: Watercolor Garden.

This distress ink background was calling for Dina Wakley's Scribbly Birds

and my vertical Happy Birthday by Verses. 

Used a strip of tulle for the bow at the bottom. It's difficult to see. 

Ink: Versafine black onyx

Used a recycled piece (leaves) and a previously stamped text piece.

The gentlemen,stamped in distress vintage photo and sponged in black soot,

 are from a Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection set called Curious Possibility
