Bits and pieces

I'm always impressed by people who can make cards from the leftovers on their desk.  Not sure that this will impress anyone, but I used leftovers to make this card. I made a card using this image a week ago, and I had printed out two copies. The previous card used a die-cut scallop, and I decided to use the negative as a frame. The Bugaboo image is colored with pencils, with Spica pen on the wings and Wink of Stella on the stars. Add a silver-embossed sentiment and silver cording, and it's a card.

I'm entering these challenges:

    I hear you about the leftovers. I used to save them all with good intentions but I've wised up and tossed them now. Sometimes I get motivated by them but it happens so rarely. I like the idea of the scalloped hole for a frame. It works great!
