Do you ever have a serendipity moment? One of those times when you aren't planning something and then good fortune just happens? Last night I had a serendipity card moment.
Last week I made a "congrats" card for one of my Ink Masters team members, cutting the letters out using the Playful Alphabet dies. When I was done cutting, I decided to use the negative space (the left-over part with the holes in it where your letters were cut) for my card. So I had the actual letters left.
What do you do with your left-over pieces?
These sat on my desk for a few days, and in the meantime I made a few more cards. Well, late last night I picked up the letters and decided to make another card:
The letters had been cut using a strip of Artistry Blooms patterned paper, which had an ombre look (darker colors fading to lighter, and back to darker). And I also happened to have an "orphaned" piece of Whisper White that had been embossed with the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. So I created a little magic and combined them.
The letters were adhered to the card front, and then in another serendipity moment, I found another left-over--a piece of the Rainbow Glimmer paper that had been cut into a frame. It was such a perfect wedding of unused pieces!
But I needed to add some kind of embellishment and nothing in my "stash" seemed to fit. But wait! I still had glimmer paper, so I punched some circles with two different sizes of circle punches - LOVE! And you can glimpse the extra circles on the inside of my card.
Sometimes it's funny how things just come together!
