In the little bag of goodies I found the other day were several partially colored images or pieces of projects that had never been completed. Here’s another round of cards from my “Finish It Up” session.
This card is a total lift from Maile Belles. I loved her card and reproduced it pretty closely, just changing the color of the daisies and adding some Judi-Kins Expresso Speckles to the centers. All the rest of the supplies are from Paper Trey Ink. The ribbon is their off-white silk ribbon which I colored with a Copic marker.
The picnic basket was in the baggie, so I stamped the pumpkins from the same set (Vintage Picnic by Papertrey Ink), used my Tin Type Impression plate (for the first time!) on the Paper Source card, die cut the Spiral Notebook page and stamped it with lines from It’s Official (both PTI). The ribbon’s from my stash, and the sentiment from Communique Sentiments (another PTI set.) Must say I have lots of Papertrey stamps and I love the way they can be combined so easily.
The mums (Autumn Abundance–PTI) had been colored on this image at one of my crafty sessions with my friends, so I finished coloring the vase with Copics, die cut it with a Nestability Labels One and layered it onto two scraps of paper from the scrap drawer. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the bottom and a sentiment from the 2009 Autumn Tags set (PTI).
Feels good to have some finished cards and a few less scraps laying around!
What BEAUTIFUL cards, Karen!! They are Fall lovely!! And Karen perfect!
Love your blog!
All your cards are beautiful Karen, but that first one is FABULOUS! And I never knew you could color ribbon with a marker!
Beautiful cards,Karen….particularly love that first flower one.
More beautiful cards! Love the flowers on the first one and the designs of the 2nd & 3rd. You have inspired me to pull out my PTI stamps!
I love each and every one of these for different reasons! How resourceful to colour the ribbon – I’d never have known! I admire you ability to develop such great colour combinations too – the last one just pops against the white.
Good for you 🙂 Gorgeous cards anyway, but your approach is so inspiring – must use up my own scraps and half-finished bits and bobs! xx
Love doing this sort of thing. I’ll often do this for a batch of cards to send to “Operation Write Home.” Don’t know if you know of them, but they’re a great organization.

These are beautiful cards Karen, I love how they look so crisp and coordinated!
WOW! I love all of these! Stunning!
How fun! Isn’t it a great feeling to use up some of those random pieces? All of your cards are fabulous!
