Upcycling Watercolor Paper Scraps

Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the fabulous Kelly Latevola as a special guest on our blog today! Kelly is providing some especially cool inspiration today by reminding us all to keep the leftover scraps from cards so that we can reuse them in a new and cool way. As a fun bonus, she’s also featuring Distress Oxide inks and showcasing our new Under the Sea Animals stamps and dies from our latest Fluttering By collection. Be sure to watch the video for more details, and enjoy!

I knew I kept my scraps around for something (other than my hoarding tendencies)! You really know how to make a supply last, Kelly, which I appreciate. I also really like how you colored the animals in the same color palette as your backgrounds, even if those parts of the backgrounds weren’t involved in that particular card, like the snail. This would be a fabulous set to give someone as a gift. I hope your peanut is feeling better soon and that the whole family doesn’t come down with his crud.
