Frugal Friday

I am now in the habit of trying to make cards from scraps that litter the desk after a crafting session -

 for this I blame Lizy Bartaby who started me off with this!!

You can see various samples of her Frugal Friday cards HERE

Tonight one of my Thursday ladies made a card that you can see

on  MY BLOG HERE

and these are the bits that were left on the desk when she had finished.

This reminded me of a card that one of my Tuesday ladies had made using the pieces 

that were left after using the Bigz Lattice die recently - I challenged Jean to make a card with the bits

and she made a masterpiece of a flower and a stunning card.

The one that I have made below was just a quick demo to my Thursday ladies

of how you can make a quick and easy card from the bits.

(I'll see if Jean still has her card and post it on here later if she has it!)

Meantime here's my quick and easy 3 minute special!!

I am quite pleased with this - although the photo isn't very good as the light is fading!

The daisy is made of Brushed Gold card (the punched pieces from the Lattice Die)

these are stuck onto a scrap of Black card, then this is stuck onto a small white base card.

The greeting is from "My Friens stamp set and is stamped in Versamark

and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.

Thanks for your inspiration Jean, and your Frugal Friday Lizy!!
