I made this card a few weeks ago using the waste after die cutting some leaves from kraft card. I backed them with small scraps of paper in a matching colour.
The black matts were cut with Tim Holtz dies and the backgrounds are snippets of white paper which I stencilled with distress ink.
I would like to join in with the girls at Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 323

What a lovely pair of cards Barb! So clever to keep and use the waste (no wonder you and Mrs A got on like a house on fire when we met up - she's the Queen of collecting teensy little scraps). Love the narural colours you used as well.
Lovely to see you in the Playground.
Hugs

Two fabulous cards Barb, with a little planning the left over card from a die cut can be turned into another card, thanks for the inspiration

Beautiful cards Barb, always nice to use waste.

Fabulous and clever way to use the waste, love all the layers and stenciled background. I rarely think of or am able to use waste bits, certainly couldn't make such lovely cards as yours xxx

I love your wonderful Twofer leaf designs, Barb! How fun it is to sit down and make two fantastic cards while you are at it, especially when you use a lot of snippets! Hugs, Darnell
Two lovely cards, Barb! beautiful leaves and great use of leftovers. I love the stenciling, such perfect background, and I think I need to buy that Tim Holtz die.
Sorry I haven't visited your blog for a long time, I've had a long break from my blog and the blog world.

Two really pretty cards Barb and love the waste from die cutting used as two wonderful focal points on these cards, and the stencilled brown leaves in the background go beautifully, and love the circular sentiment on one and the sweet red heart on the other. x
Fabulous cards Barb and a great way of using waste.

Now these have to be the nicest way of using up the otherwise waste from diecutting. Love the earthy colours. Hugs Mrs A.
