MORE Scrap Cards ~ I *Heart* This Red Paper

More cards from that GORGEOUS red Jillibean Soup Watermelon Gazpacho Collection paper.  I LOVE that paper.  I am so drawn to red and damask.  And that small print on 6x6 pads makes the prettiest cards.  Like the paper from that Jillibean Soup pad my sister Pat *Hi Pat!* gave me, she gave me all of her scraps from the red sheets as well.  I made these 4 cards and I think a couple more, just from scraps.  You can see in the pictures what I had to work with.  Most of the scraps were 1-1 1/2x3-4". They were all layered on a 4x 5 3/8 red mat on top of a 4 1/4x5 1/2 white cardstock base.  All of these have a hand dyed seam binding, dyed with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Stain and some water with Perfect Pearls added.  It makes the ribbon creamy with just a hint of metallic sheen.  So pretty.  I dye YARDS of this combo at a time, I LOVE it!  I thread a button on button twine and tie it on the knot of the bow that has been tied around 3-4 times.  The top 2 cards use a stamped, inked frame from Just Because Cards Criket cartridge.  The 3rd card has a "doily" from Limitless Layers and Recollections flowers from Michael's.  There is also a Tiny Tag from PTI.  The last card has a tag made from PTI Jar Label.  I think all of these scrap cards are just beautiful.  They are made with BEAUTIFUL paper.  Don't throw your scraps away, especially if it is paper you love!
