Using Scraps #1


I've got a lot of scraps that I felt were too large to throw away, but often turn out to be smaller than what I need for a project.  The piles have been growing & I needed to do something to pare them down.  Here's what I decided to do - use them to make pre-made embellishments.  These are hopefully just the first installment of MANY to come as I work on clearing out my scraps!  

To color these I used a combination of 3 different mediums: pastel chalks added with a brush, Inktense pencils with water for blending, and occasionally gelatos (used a couple of the metallic colors with water for cats eyes).  Below is a closeup of some of them.  The dogs and cats are stamps/dies from Stampendous.  The deer & trees are stamps/dies from Heartfelt Creations.
