Everyone gets an equal chance here, so whether you are a novice or an experienced crafter, all are welcome to play along with our challenges.

When I started working on the theme, I realized it was not as simple as hoarding these scraps......so many possibilities - cards, layout, embellishments, handmade journals, tags, envelopes, the list is endless!

I finally narrowed down on using the "Fleur Fun" scraps from my last project & worked on an art journal page.

I started the layout with torn pieces of paper to make the background.

Played around with some gesso, chalk paints & stencils to create layers and textures.

The bright color was perfect to bring in some sunshine to a rather foggy & chilly winter morning!

Supplies used -
Fleur Fun 12" X 12" Patterned Paper Pack

Gesso

Soft Gel

Now let me share my teamie Nikkita's inspiration for the challenge - She has a card & tag for us.

For the card , she has used the "Fleur Fun" paper pack scraps, distressed them using distressing tool and adhered using 3D tape to give dimensions and added Rajni Chawla's Frosting Powder to give glitter effect and then embellished it with flowers and butterfly chippies.
