Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge & Scrap For Help

Hi there! Today's share is a LO for Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge which is to be about your garden, or spring...all the details are HERE.
DH has grown me some rhubarb - I LOVE it, along with quinces! Old fashioned, I know, but stewed up...YUM! I've used some mists & paints on the bg & had fun cutting strips of October Afternoon Farmhouse paper up for behind the photo, along with some washi tape..the leaves are stamped & fussy cut & the 'THIS' in the title has been painted with Ranger Clear Rock Candy, then covered with Glossy Accents to make it really pop!

See the butterflies? They're Washi tape, backed onto cardboard then fussy cut! Very fiddly but I like the result:):)

 

Over at SCRAP FOR HELP the challenge is to use an old ENVELOPE in your 'free' layout or card or altered project. That's really flexible; makes it easy to join in! I had some very old envelopes that look like they're Chinese, maybe? They even had those yellow age spots...I sort of tried to channel Marivic with her tags over at Zeus & Zoe... my idea was to make a tag-like creation with the envelope that would then make the front of a card. The big green flower is one I've made, & I cut up a bit of costume jewellery that was broken for the lovely stones...the lamp post came from Mitra....& you can see how I've altered it! I actually used my new Magic Stamp from Scrap Friends - made up the image with LACE!!! I did LOTS with this one...gave the Distress inks another work out! This card took a while to make, but I really enjoyed the creative process:):):)

The original envelope

 

The altered journal tag - stitched!

And altered lamp post!

The HB frame is a stamp that I've fussy cut the outside, then punched out the inside, then backed off with another piece of cardstock with the sentiment stamped on it!

That's it for me tonight! Don't forget our sketch challenge over at Scrap Friends...I'd love to see some more familiar names linked up:):):)

Take care,
