Playing with Scraps - CS September Card Sketch

Thanks for joining me, 
Today I'm working on the Club Scrap (CS) September Card Sketch challenge from the CS forums.   I love starting a card from a sketch to focus my ideas. Below is the sketch by Marya. for more information on the challenge see the CS forum.  

This time I decided to raid my scraps.  I keep scraps of any technique or art media for when I need a special detail.  Today I decided to work from papers I had out for a twinchie swap (a 2 x 2 inch art panel).  I next picked all the art scraps that went with papers in violet and spring green from the CS Wildflower kit (CS Retreat 2013, I think).   When I was finished I had enough stuff for two cards.


I started with the large violet panel using a new embossing folder and Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays.  I just love the nest detail and the touching quote inside from the CS Take Wing Collection.  The fun part was making a nest.
