Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Scrappy Embellishments -- Talk Scrappy To Me Challenge Entry

“Choose-Your-Own-Adventure” because I don’t know whether these are tags, tucks, bookmarks, card fronts…

I cut some weird bases from cardstock/packaging offcuts from previous projects and then went about collaging and embellishing with all.the.scraps. Except for the glue and the ink I used to edge the final pieces, I’m 99.9% sure everything is from scrap.



In the end, I really enjoyed this process, even if it put basically zero dent in my paper scraps :laughing:. Thanks for looking!

I love your work!! These are brilliant, the shapes are really nicely composed and interesting, and your scrappy collages have such great colour, and lots of clever and fun little details! I especially like the curvy blue-green one, and the blocky one on the bottom right with its stack of objects.

Thank you! A lot of the objects in that stack had failed multiple auditions for the other pieces, and at some point I just went, “maybe throw them all at this one?” :laughing:
