Use Those Scraps

I don't know about you but my stash of bits and pieces of paper and card stock seems to be multiplying in the cupboard.  Fortunately the challenge this week at Isabella's Challenge is to use nothing but stuff that you have in your scraps.  Except for the card blank, nothing can be any larger than 3"x3" or the equivalent in sq. inches, which is nine (9).  Any embellishments must also be in your stash and you can't go out and buy anything new.  Don't forget, you need to have an image from Isabella's Sketchbook on your project.  Oh, and by the way you will want to check out the work of the other members of the Design Team and be prepared to be inspired.


I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

Crafty Cardmakers - Punches
Simon Says Stamp & Show - Things with Wings
Cute Card Thursday - Whateva

Image:  Hummingbirds (Isabella's Sketchbook)
Card Stock:  Green (Bazzill), Pink (Provo Craft), Burgandy (Recollections)
Papers:  Burgandy Floral (Provo Craft), Pink (Memories Forever)
Colouring Medium: Pencil Crayons (Prismacolor and Koh-I-Noor) with OMS (Taltine)
Tools & Embellishments:  Oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Swiss Dots Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Pearl Pins (Maya Road)  Silk Flowers (My Stash since 1982), Frond Punch and Fan Border Punch (Martha Stewart), Ribbon (Fabricland), Chalk (Mungyo)
